Hi Patrick, I've added the isdb-t docs at the new media DocBook. Please double check. It were generated from your text document at dvb-spec dir. For your convenience, it is already compiled at linuxtv.org/docs.php: http://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/ch09s03.html (and the site will automatically update if we change something at the docbook). You can also compile it locally with "make spec". You need to have xmlto and the oasis DTD's, in order to compile. It is understandable that most of us were afraid on touching at LaTex docs, but having everything in DocBook makes easier for people to update: just one language, XML based. For those seeking for a good XML editor, I recommend quanta. It comes together with kde (on RHEL, the package name is kdewebdev). Don't forget to say to the editor to use DocBook XML 4.1.2 format. Starting from now, I kindly ask developers that need to touch at Media API to always send an update to the DocBook. It would be great if someone could write a complete S2API spec. Cheers, Mauro.
