The backtrace suggests something is wrong in DvbTuner: Either the poll() in
thread 2 does not return, or there is some sort of deadlock.
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the problem here.
First you might try if the attached patch fixes the problem.
If not, please put printfs around Lock() and Unlock() in dvbtuner.c line 129,
138, 299, 339, and possibly around the poll in line 157 as well, such as
printf("DvbTuner::Set: Now locking mutex\n");
Lock();
printf("DvbTuner::Set: Lockedmutex\n");
...
printf(""DvbTuner::Set: Unlocking mutex");
Unlock();
and capture the output to a file.
