Maybe it is still not perfect. Feel free to improve it.

It seems > unecessary too, please correct me if I'm wrong. We can use the full 64 bits of v4l2_std_id. We just need to take some care. Due to the lack of __ucmpdi2 on ppc32 architecture, with some gcc versions, a hack were added at v4l2-common.c, that truncates it to 32 bits, at the function v4l2_norm_to_name(): http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mchehab/v4l-dvb.git;a=commit;h=412297d31d439ba56cd4faeb3a49a6f569f40702 So, using more than 32 bits is possible, providing that we change the implementation of v4l2_norm_to_name() or find a way for it to work with ppc32. Instead of just adding a standard for each possible combination, we may just add bits for the supported audio formats. For example, we can use the bitmask as: #define V4L2_STD_AUDIO_NICAM_A ((v4l2_std_id)0x04000000) #define V4L2_STD_AUDIO_A2_A ((v4l2_std_id)0x08000000) Since for all other chipsets but xc3028, all audio standards are supported, maybe we can, instead, use a negate bitmap logic for the non-supported audio standards. Something like: #define V4L2_STD_AUDIO_NOT_NICAM_A ((v4l2_std_id)0x04000000) #define V4L2_STD_AUDIO_NOT_A2_A ((v4l2_std_id)0x08000000) And define some macros for the specific standards you need. For example: #define V4L2_STD_AUDIO_NOT_ALL V4L2_STD_AUDIO_NOT_A2_A | V4L2_STD_AUDIO_NOT_NICAM_A #define V4L2_STD_PAL_BG_A2 V4L2_STD_PAL_BG | (V4L2_STD_AUDIO_NOT_ALL & !V4L2_STD_AUDIO_NOT_A2_A) This way, V4L2_STD_PAL_BG will mean that this PAL/BG accepts all possible audio standards (being binary compatible), while V4L2_STD_PAL_BG_A2_A will mean that only A2 response 'A' audio format is supported for PAL/BG. -- Cheers, Mauro _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
