OK, just as long as you updated the firmware from within a few weeks ago then
you should have the new one.  The version inside the "new" firmware did not
change from 26d (so it may be a little confusing from just looking at it).

If you notice that patch I sent in the previous mail, it undefines
"FW_NEEDS_BUFFER_RESERVE_FOR_AC3", so, the line you are changing would not even
be used.  It seems that the "new" version of 26d does not need preset buffer
reserves.

--SNIP--

 #ifdef FW_NEEDS_BUFFER_RESERVE_FOR_AC3
   bool GotBufferReserve = false;
-  int RequiredBufferReserve = KILOBYTE(DvbCardWith4MBofSDRAM ? 288 : 576);
+  int RequiredBufferReserve = KILOBYTE(DvbCardWith4MBofSDRAM ? 576 : 288);
 #endif

--SNIP--

2.6.11.11 with latest CVS of dvb-kernel would be my recommendation.
