Hi Mauro,
I tested this one.
It does not help the problem with alevt-dvb described by me, but the
horrible crash behaviour where nothing goes without hard reset after the
second start of alevt-dvb is gone. One step - well done!
Can you explain in some words what specific problems the other patch
resolves?
Thanks
CS
