I found some oddities in the patched szap code -- fixing them doesn't seem to
change anything, but maybe they cause odditites elsewhere (or maybe I'm
misreading things?):


the very same szap was used on dvb-s/dvb-s2 for a couple of people, so
the probability of szap not working is lesser.

1. do_tune() sets fe_params.delsys.*.fec = FEC_AUTO;
   but the type of the fec member is dvbfe_fec rather than fe_code_rate_t --
   shouldn't it be set to DVBFE_FEC_AUTO instead, especially because the value
   is not the same?


We use FEC_AUTO, with the API update DVBFE_FEC_AUTO.

2. Similarily, there's INVERSION_* vs. DVBFE_INVERSION_* --
   dvb_frontend_parameters takes a fe_spectral_inversion_t which matches
   the use of INVERSION_* in patched szap, but DVBFE_INVERSION_* is
   introduced by the multiproto patch and is set inside the kernel module
   if dvb_force_auto_inversion is on.


Inversion also doesn't matter.


3. Nothing in do_tune() sets fe_params.delsys.*.modulation -- but
   0 is DVBFE_MOD_NONE. Shouldn't it be set to DVBFE_MOD_AUTO
   (or DVBFE_MOD_QPSK/DVBFE_MOD_8PSK depending on dvbs vs. dvbs2)?
   If the modulation parameter is there for DVBFE_GET_PARAMS only, it should
   probably be pointed out in a comment in the header (the way it is done for
   e.g. dvbs2_params.rolloff)


Modulation also doesn't matter.

The only things that do matter

1) frequency
2) symbol rate
3) delivery system

As ralph said, probably wrong pids ?

manu
