In the ideal world, yes. Copying in and out of kernel is not fun and eats a lot of your CPU.

What is that you see reflected in userspace as device specifics ? Of course you might want to use the memory frontend for that, but again not for any real sane use, but just for testing alone. You might like to read a bit about copying in and out of userspace http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ring_0 Manu _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
