Nack. In DVB API terms, "sec" stands for satellite equipment control,
and if I remember correctly, sec0 already existed in the first versions
of the API and that's why its leftovers can be abused by this driver.

The interfaces for writing data are dvr0 and demux0. If they don't fit
for decryption of recorded data, then they should be extended.

For decryption of live data, no new user interface needs to be created.
