Hi Mauro,

what I did try to point to, with some sarcasm involved, is that I can't
advice any v4l-dvb as reference anymore.

To start to look such up, with all patches involved, per user, who
likely does not know himself on what he exactly is, find the last
building kernel for him then, guess on pending pull requests that time,
and so on, is not making any sense for me.

Should we not state, that is nothing against Douglas at all or Hans with
his build reports, please be on latest .rc and git to test anything we
have around?

We are out of sync else.

Cheers,
Hermann
