It turns out that I had misinterpreted my problem. Basically there is already a device doing the job I mentioned (parsing the different subchannels), and the device has controls available to it, and just sends the data through IP multicast. All I have to do is take that IP stream, and pipe it out to a device (virtual device). This device though has to be able to change channels and all. For this, I now reevaluate and think that V4L2 might be a better alternative. Suggestions are appreciated. Luc Gallant
