Unfortunately, there is no way. I think is THE major drawback of v3 api. I know that v4 is supposed to fix this. But what about implementing a hack (aka "new feature"), which supports this for v3? The only required changed should be in the core, device drivers don't need to be changed. On example interface could be multiple DMX_SET_FILTER per fd, turning a DMX into a DVR. And of course the possibility to get a single TS, without using the DVR. Johannes? Felix
