Attached is an extremely simple patch which seems to resolve the issue
for me. Before turning streaming on/off, I have inserted a tiny delay or
10 ms-
Just using 'debug=1' wasn't enough to keep tuner 2 from dying. I set it
up yesterday morning with debug=1, and when I got back home in the
evening the second tuner was dead again. I then made the attached patch
and the system has been stable since then (~24 hrs).
I also made a slight change by removing a "| 0x00" from the code. It
performs absolutely nothing (and is probably removed by the compiler in
optimization) but confuse when reading the code, imho... Patrick, if you
really want it there I can recreate the patch with the or statement
back ;)
Feel free to try it out.
