Currently not.
Since upcoming cards with decoder and V4L interface for those will
need it too, should we add a call for this? In the DVB video device?
We might also need something like this for audio.
Sounds like a good enhancement, maybe even make this a common V4L/DVB/??
ioctl, that applications can query for relations between devices?
