I'll try to do this before the end > of the month. I've had some changes to add multi delivery system capability, but the demodulator used, needs explicit definition of FEC and other parameters. Currently, all existing DVB applications expect FEC to be AUTO, This brings in the larger problem that i have been trying to tackle. If you prefer to send a patch, would wait for that instead, as i can channelize the time for other stuff that i have been up with. That said, we would soon see multiproto in staging for some wider tests. > I can have a look at the switch from ieee1394 to firewire, but I'm rather > busy right now (final exams and some other urgent business afterwards).
