we do have actually 19 enumerations left within the modulation enumeration.
there should be any regression adding both values, if they become reality.

it is more or less an extension so we might be able to use api v3 for a longer
time and it can cover new frontend types, modulations ect.
if you look for a redesign of the api (i actually do not know if anonymous cvs still works)
there is a dvb-kernel-v4 tree within the old cvs. this contains a complete redesign of the
dvb api and will maybe be the successor of v3.
