What about a virtual /dev/videoX for low budget DVB cards? The idea behind is to provide a device set with every type of card (low budget, full featured) so that for example tvtime works with every type of card. The virtual device could be made by the following way: kernel driver (low budget, DVB-Decoded) -> kernel/userspace linker -> userspace decoder -> kernel/userspace linker -> kernel-driver (low budget, DVB-Encoded) I'm not a developer so (maybe) that's just a stupid idea. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
