it depends.

I think there is at least one usage case where one might want to
have the DekTec card integrated into the linux-dvb driver framework,
which already has been mentioned: us the existing linux-dvb applications
with it!
Especially dvbsnoop is a very helpful tool for some cases.

I definitely want to start another "war" about which functionality should
be in the kernel and which not, but IMHO the usage is not as separate as you
claim.

Best regards,
Wolfgang
