It is a nice idea, yes. Two things, looking at http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps/file/4bca5d49c9bd/lib/libdvbapi/dvbfe.c * This idea of using multiple API 's was thought (It is effective , yes) You can use multiple API's in there * The down side is that user applications need to use this library Someone could ask, why the hell should we use your library. Well, that causes the headaches. > The enduser applications would have to implement that API one time but > it would help to keep unnecessary changes away from those applications > and even allow to clean up things lateron without breaking all the > applications... it's just a thought though.. Yes, that's how it would work in the ideal case, i doubt whether we can force applications to use the library.
