Well, upto you. I was commenting on what you wrote just now.
I told you earlier too that it was your wish not mine.




CC' d since many ask my why they can't contribute ..

Not to be ignorant or (gee, can't find the word),
but in my oppinion you just raised you'r bar quite
some with that statement, keep that line of fire,
it doesn't hurt anyone and fits anywhere, excelent  ;)

No, but it felt like all of a sudden the direction changed with
regards to the library, and as I still have the GPL card on my
hand, I naturally play it.

Well, I'm trying to promote my way of doing some real work,
if that does not suit ya'll, fine with me! No flame intended.
To be very honest I have not tried this before, so kudos.

Fuck you stating that, you haven't even read my code!

Sure, does it contain fixing up the section parser in a few days?

First of all the next task on my todo list is to couple the conditional
access layer of my library with the demuxer, so that seamless decrytion
can occur with the minimal amount of effort on the application side.
Since this is a feature all applications that use the library want to do!

However to do this I need a proper section parser, and as it is now your
implementation in libdvbsi is horribly broken, and IMHO unusable!

So I start at the top, trying to write the leanest and fastest descriptor
parser I can come up with. I assumed you would understand that I intend
to put this into libdvbsi when it is in a workable state, in that:

  - it does not overwrite memory it does not own
  - it does not crash when incomplete data is feed to it
  - it has most descriptors ready to use
  - it is an implementation based on ideas/suggestions in this thread

That said, I don't get why you continue pushing for fixing your 
implementation
of the descriptor parser when I explicitly asked you to hold off on 
doing it?
