So I found an RTL-SDR plug in for SDR# that allows the tuner to go down to 13mhz and set the LNA/Mixer/VGA gain. I do no think it is open source, if it is im not seeing it.

Новая модификация SDR# rtls-sdr драйвера.

Basically I have been doing a lot of work trying to make these dongles much better, spur free and .5khz-3ghz conversions.But I like how this plug in allows me to mess with different gain settings in SDR#, the problem is I would like to get this ability working in every program. Especially GNU Radio, HD SDR, etc. So I guess I would like to write a new driver for the dongle or at least plug ins for other software.

I have no idea how people do this the tuner data sheet is not public (If it were I would be using a 16bit ADC and micro with the tuner) So does anyone know how people writing thes plug ins have the information to change the chips settings? Or how AirSPI even uses these chips on there own hardware, guessing the signed an NDA?

The SDR# plugin spec doesn't seem to be publicly available. Go to airspy.com, click the Contact link, and ask if you can get the spec.
