In fact, you might not even need the swdemux at all, as the CA stack is all in userspace, not in kernel. All you would most probably need is an interface to read/write a TS to the USB interface. Maybe easier would be to read the TS off the dvr device, parse the TS and write the entire TS into a libusb interface or similar.
