I'm looking forward to see RFCs about proposals for additions to dvb-
usb's structure. Especially the ugly device-usb-id-referencing. 

What do you mean by "new version"?

Are you sure that suspend/resume-crashes are related to dvb-usb?

Maybe the refactoring of some buffer-handling should be considered.

Also adding support for hybrid (analog+dvb-devices) is missing. Mike
