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.

Yes, that's how it would work in the ideal case, i doubt whether we can
force applications to use the library.
