Just trim it to the requirement. If someone has problems later on add 
more of them. In some cases you can possibly do some error correction 
depending upon how severe it is. Well it's a painstaking procedure to do 
that. Well, if you have the time give it a shot and see, trying to do 
error correction.

It is okay as it is too ..

Yes, no problems .. I use all of them for the DST. Most of the Fusion 
878 based cards, use similar stuff, except that the GPIO connections 
would be different and hence a difference in the GPIO config. Some cards 
would tweak the RISC program too, but that is not very critical, but 
helps in optimal settings.

It depends on the bus on which your cards sits.. Remember the old bttv 
and Avermedia problems ? Well it is the same, revisited.
Some other bttv cards also might need that setting, also.

If he has the card on a bus which is *relatively* free of data transfer, 
this  case will not show up, but when you have all hardware onto a 
single PCI bus, the errors are shown highlighted. In this case you need 
to ignore some errors !

Maybe, fiddling around with the analog stuff changes some gpio settings 
which are necessary for the digital part, or need to wait for some time 
probably. Could be either of them, or both.
