For binary compatibility it isn't sufficient to just add new

are valid or contain uninitialized data.
Well, still i do not follow this argument. How do you expect old
applications that do not support DVB-S2 to work with DVB-S2. Should be
some sort of black magic.
Are you saying that the DVB-S applications will make DVB-S2 devices also
working in the same way ?
I really got lost, now.
If I wasn't clear: I mean backwards compatibility for future
changes of the API. Or do you expect this to be the last change?
Well, are you proposing that we keep on discussing this for ages ? On
one hand you seem to say that you don't agree on the basic stuff and
*NACK* them down. On the other hand you talk about backwards
compatibility, which i haven't even touched.
Seriously, I really don't follow this discussion
