I also say it again: I am deeply dissatisfied that none of the people you mentioned at the bottom of http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-May/010076.html seem to care enough to participate in the discussion. (Not to mention that app developers also don't seem to care -- after all these are the ones who'll have to deal with the new API.) Maybe we should just put the API change off for now. :-(
Well, as an application developer (VDR) I'd like to be able to support DVB-S2, but I guess my knowledge about all this is too limited to understand what this heated debate is all about. I always thought that DVB-S2 is just "DVB-S with a new modulation", so I would expect a new driver version that supports DVB-S2 to just implement that new modulation and still call it "DVB-S". This "...2" thing is IMHO just to make things clear to customers, so they know that their old boxes can't handle it. From an application's point of view it's still DVB-S, just with another modulation. I wouldn't even mind if the old and new driver weren't binary compatible. I'd just write into the release notes of VDR that as of version soandso VDR requires driver version XXX. But then a again, what do I know...
