It's a big hack yes. It was easier to change and test the driver  
instead of mythtv. Smaller code base and easier to compile and install.

A ticket in mythtv someone else had with open twice:
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5711
It was closed because it was a feature request without a patch.

I don't know if it's related to my problem or not.
