We have had discussions that have been outstanding since 2005. Don't you
feel the same on those ? Do you know how many people were/are still
anxiously looking forward, Sorry not just people -- OSS projects
(applications and so on), Commercial projects and so on.
Manu please stay on a constructive level now.
What I don't like about your current approach is that you have to
duplicate the wrapper in every new hybrid tuner module (eg you have
one generic core tuning function and you have to build wrappers around
to fit the i2c and dvb part).
Please point me to your code and where my current approach will break
the multiproto work you did last year.
Regarding the difficulty, I don't see anything within the whole
project which isn't doable everything's about time and patience of
reading specs to get something done here.

As i said, completely upto you. Don't have anything more to say.
now stop pushing anyone and discuss the work we did so far, this is
not only up to Johannes he didn't write your neither my code.
