If I remind well there was a discussion about handling multiple frontends
on the DVB-ML. The result was to provide two complete DVB-frontends
sharing code and ressources, but no subdevices as this would break
compatibility and increase complexibility in handling frondends.
Are you going to add support for the Pinnacle Dual DVB-S cards, too?
