I know there are many controversial discussions with respect to closed source projects for Linux. The fact is that ST Microelectronics has implemented kernel modules with a proprietary interface (STAPI) for the DVB and is not willing to disclose the interface details to open source projects. On the other hand STM provides STLinux distribution for boards based on STi7109 & Co. This distribution contains open source drivers only the output part of the system (V4Land ALSA). A copy of the chip datasheet is available on the web. Though, its legality is questionnable. There have been some questions about the API two years ago so I was wondering whether anybody has started working on an implementation.
