yes, that patch works for me on linux-media's media-master branch, and
also on fedora 2.6.35.10-72.fc14.x86_64.
thanks for workng on this!
it makes a lot of sense that the pid filtering fns are the root cause.

please feel free to add this to your patch:
  Tested-by: Robin Humble <robin.humble+dvb@xxxxxxxxxx>
and to scrap my patch.

cheers,
robin
