I belive this issue has been raised before, but maybe it's time for the dvb 
project to follow in the footsteps of the oss->alsa transition, and make the 
dvb drivers tell userspace what features is present, and handle the 
differences in a common to all dvb apps (libdvb) library? This might as well 
break off some of the pitfalls when the transition from v3 to v4 api takes 
place..
