I am continuing to brainstorm ideas some for of solution that won't be considered ridiculous to some percentage of the demod maintainers. I did make an effort to credit you for the patches based on your hardware so far: http://www.kernellabs.com/hg/~dheitmueller/em28xx-terratec-zl10353/rev/274eda5953b4 > I tolled the mplayer people maybe 5 month's ago about this issue.

In fairness, I can appreciate why the mplayer developers' initial impression would be that this is a device-level problem since the software works with many other devices. I did definitely confirm it to be a bug though, and now that we know *exactly* what is wrong, getting a fix upstream into mplayer shouldn't be very hard (it should be a ten line patch). I cannot possibly see them suggesting that sending garbage values from the stack in an ioctl() call is appropriate behavior. :-) If you want, do a cvs checkout of the latest mplayer source, get it to successfully compile and work in your environment, and I will see about logging in next week to cook up a patch we can submit upstream.
