I doubt that.  vdr's channels.conf is passwd-like and seems to work well ...

Thats a matter of the library, not the config file syntax format.
Current xawtv snapshots can do that too with the smb-like config
files ...

What I'm doing with vdr's channels file is just import that into
xawtv's config database.  Dumping it in smb-like syntax ist just a
single line of code then ...
