It depends on which kernel and which version of bttv you are using. The Siemens DVB card driver only supports the new I2C interface. You will not be able to mix it with older bttv drivers which use the old I2C interface. When using the new I2C interface you should use the version which comes with the DVB driver since it contains some slight changes which define the new I2C devices which are on the Siemens DVB card. Otherwise it is identical to the current 2.4 kernel version at the time of the drivers release.

I sometimes changed the open behavior to allow multiple opens for testing purposes and kept an own copy of the file for doing this. But I always (at least I hope so) changed this back for releases. Maybe I should have removed the whole file. There are also some #ifdefs in it to make it compile on all kernels, but obviously this can break on kernels newer than the last DVB release. The include file videodev.h also only has 2 additional lines: #define VID_TYPE_DVB 16384 /* Is DVB card */ and #define VID_PLAY_CLEAR_BUFFER 15 Since those parameters are passed through videodev.c to the actual V4L device only the DVB driver needs this version of the file. You can use the videodev.o binary from your own kernel.

I want to give you a very-very small advice in your DVB PCI card project. I have a gcc 2.7.2.3 and while I was trying to insmod the dvb driver, I've got the following error message: dvb.o: unresolved symbol memset After I've compiled the dvb.c whit -S and examined the assembly code, I've found the memset at the function getMAC. This memset stuff is as far as I know is a gcc or cpp bug (don't take it 100%), possibly with newer gcc versions this bug doesn't exists anymore (and it does if you haven't run into it). To fix this bug there are two arrays in getMAC function: u8 k0[5] = { 0x54, 0x7B, 0x9E }; u8 k1[5] = { 0xD3, 0xF1, 0x23 }; In the compiled assembly it is a (2 times) 5 bytes stack allocation a 5 bytes memset (this is the problem) and a 3 bytes load. If you replace it with: u8 k0[5] = { 0x54, 0x7B, 0x9E, 0, 0 }; u8 k1[5] = { 0xD3, 0xF1, 0x23, 0, 0 }; This causes a 5 bytes stack allocation and a 5 bytes load (saves up 1 assembly command?!) The memset error message goes away... (Or there is another solution - I don't know if it is OK - you just simply change k0,k1 to a 3 members array.. k0[3],k0[4],k1[3],k1[4] never used in this funcion and they are locals). Just a small thing, but for some people this change maybe save some time.. Anyway, I'm glad to see people doing such a great job! Take my BIG-BIG thanks - I can't find the words - for developing this stuff. I'm happy watching DVB on my Linux. Bye, David Toth ---------- End Forwarded message ---------- Hope it helps a bit.

It's a gcc bug, well not actually gcc, actually more egcs. Normally the memset code is in libc, but for "performance" and "optimization" reasons the egcs authors also put the memset into egcs which gives a lot of headaches to many programmers due to the fact that egcs keeps 100% compliance with standard, at least the egcs authors say so.. :) Greets, Jeroen Massar From rjkm@netcologne.de Wed Aug 1 13:17:04 2001 Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 13:20:02 +0200 (CEST) From: Ralph Metzler To: David Toth Cc: linux-dvb@linuxtv.org Subject: Re: insmod dvb.o : unresolved symbol memset what is wrong?

I would even go further and say that there is no need at all for another format (AV-PES). The driver (or even the firmware) should accept and generate standard MPEG systems streams, thus not exposing the AV-PES data at all. Carsten.

After having reinstalled the driver modules I can run it for a couple of seconds again and so on. I have traced the problem and it hangs in the write(buffer => device) command. But I am stuck with the problem - I cannot figure out why it happens. I am running Red Hat linux and a kernel version 2.2.14. I am also using the i2c-core.c file from the last driver release as described in the news file. To test my hardware and the driver, I tried to run the gVideo application. It works pretty well, also the playback function, but sometimes it also fails. Then I get a black screen which remains even if I quit the program and start it over again. The problem remains until I have reinstalled the driver modules into the kernel and/or rebooted the computer.

The driver as well as the firmware will be much more stable. I donīt know if your specific problem will be solved, but we changed the whole resource locking mechanism inside the driver. The old code caused a lot of symptoms like you describe, even total system locks on SMP machines. This should no longer happen.

Just pipe it in the device, or use gVideo. There are some problems with NTSC MPEG1 und some MPEGS that have weird aspect ratios, but you can play the VOBs on DVDs as long as you can get them off the DVD :). We don't decode the AC3 PESs in the driver, but we are going to add something to playback PCM PESs. This may not be in the next release (hopefully next Friday), though. There will also be some conversion tools added to the apps directory (or the gVideo directory) of which some are included in the driver and some are not yet ready for inclusion. There will be something called av_pes2pes, which is the first step to convert AV_PES into a program or transport stream.

Itīs not a bug, itīs a feature! No, really, what exactly is the bug here? It seems the firmware behaves correctly as intended, just not the way you want it to. So, how would you like it to be changed? Stop output at the window edge, have a new fixed-width font, ... ? If you want a new font, send me one I can use freely, but not GPLed since the firmware is not GPLed.

The bug is: Let us assume, for example, that I am sending a 20-character string to the OSD, but the OSD only has room for the first 12.3 characters. In general, there are three reasonable behaviours: 1. The OSD shows the first 12 characters. 2. The OSD shows the first 12 characters and one third of the 13th character. 3. The OSD shows the first 12 characters in one line and the remaining 8 characters in the next line. (This alternative can only be called reasonable if the calling application has a way of knowing that the next line has been used by the string) However, what the OSD does, is 4. The OSD shows the first 12 characters and one third of the 13th character at the end of this line and the remaining two thirds of the 13th character at the beginning of this line. > It seems the firmware behaves correctly as intended, just not the way > you want it to.

What is if you want to use the DVB card directly within your desktop computer, not like Klaus Schmidingers's extra box? I thought about a program with just the features of Klaus' one, but not using the on-screen-display - using X-dialogs and displaying the video as overlay just like gVideo does. Why should one do this? - better image quality - higher refresh rate, no flicker - save the money for an extra tv set - edit/cut videos and store them on dat-tapes - and of course if you have one of those 50 inch monitors on your desk ;-) Of course, gVideo could be improved to do so. For recording i thought of using the "at" and "cron" daemons, think we do not need to invent the wheel again ;-) BTW, does the Siemens card support simultanous record/playback for different sources - e.g. recording one program while viewing a pre-recorded file? I have probably not the time and experience to write such a program all on my own, but i would like to help programing if someone or more would participate...

Give Klaus' software a try. The more I use it, the more I like it.

Klaus' vdr program has a >smaller CPU usage than the cron daemon. That's true, but if you consider running OSM displaying an X-Window, the application is closed on X shutdown. Think it would be better to have a record-daemon part running frow console or init - then we are close to cron and at, running anyway on most computers - so now additional process load. (BTW, is not nearly measurable at my system ;-) Another advantage is, that you can not accidently close/hang the recording process. >> BTW, does the Siemens card support simultanous record/playback for different >> sources - e.g. recording one program while viewing a pre-recorded file? > >AFAIK, the card kind-of-supports it (DMA can only go >one way at a time), but the current driver does not. Not to bad, a normal video recorder can't do it anyway. At least with Xv-support in X11, we could still display MPEG2 in software decoding at the same time. >> I have probably not the time and experience to write such a program all on my >> own, but i would like to help programing if someone or more would participate... > >Give Klaus' software a try. >The more I use it, the more I like it. >As I said earlier in another threat: it would make a lot >more sense to work together improving Klaus' video >recorder rather than starting another one. Basically i agree, it's already quite advanced - restarting from scratch would take much more time. As we talk about improvements: -think it needs better keyboard support - it just takes to much time to jump from one channel to another or to type in a file name -all of the features of xawtv, which is like i think the best one floating around so far! (Thanks, Gerd ;-) -as i said, i want to archive videos on streamer (not while recording, but i think it would go - despite windows crashes if i try it there ;-) - for ease of use it would be nice to have only one file per recording (i'am waiting for 64bit-ReiserFS) and be able to select it in a kind of file-browser, the frame index, if required, should be build on the fly.

Klaus' software has an option that allows you to display the OSD in the shell window (using ncurses). This may not be exactly what you want, but better than not seeing it at all. > -think it needs better keyboard support - it just takes to much time to jump > from one channel to another Maybe one could add one or more additional channel menus, one with a two-step hierarchy "genre/channel", one with two-step hierarchy "first letter of channel name/channel", some with a flat hierarchy but channels sorted according to various criteria (channel name, buquet, etc.). All pretty straightforward stuff. However, it turns out that Klaus VDR got me out of the habit of switching channels. I click the stuff I want once a week in the internet EPG and when I watch TV, I no longer switch between channels (which usually show stuff I do not want or stuff that I do want, but which is almost over) but between recordings. Think about it! It's really a much better quality. Thanks again, Klaus! > or to type in a file name I have NEVER typed in a file name using the remote control. Why should I? The timers.conf has always been plain text. Now, as I have the Web-EPG, I do not even have to type in the names at all, I just click on the stuff I want during the next 7 days. One click per recording plus one shell command to copy the results over the LAN to the VDR. Works great for me. > -as i said, i want to archive videos on streamer (not while recording, but > i think it would go - despite windows crashes if i try it there ;-) When I started using Klaus' VDR, I had the same desire (archive the stuff to SVCDs and watch them later on my DVD player). I might still like that, but it has gotten a much lower priority after I realized that I will never have the time to watch them.

Klaus' software has an option that allows you to display the OSD in the shell window (using ncurses).

All pretty straightforward stuff. However, it turns out that Klaus VDR got me out of the habit of switching channels. I click the stuff I want once a week in the internet EPG and when I watch TV, I no longer switch between channels (which usually show stuff I do not want or stuff that I do want, but which is almost over) but between recordings.

The timers.conf has always been plain text. Now, as I have the Web-EPG, I do not even have to type in the names at all, I just click on the stuff I want during the next 7 days. One click per recording plus one shell command to copy the results over the LAN to the VDR.

[ The following text is in the "koi8-r" character set. ] [ Your display is set for the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ] [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ] Hi, Does anybody know how to get Linux to work stable with EON new authorization system. I used it a month ago and even gave some advices to other customers, but now I cannot use the Linux myself - no incoming data go through dvb device. When I discovered that data went a little bit faster when I used old-style authorization system, I returned to CyberLogin using but last Thursday when EON started the maintenance on TR114 I discovered a trouble :-( I just shutdown the CyberLogin, changed the squid.conf (changed the proxy address) and started my old DVBD configuration and nothing was going on :-(. My Linux is RedHat 6.2 (2.2.14 kernel), DVB 0.03c, DVBD 1st edition. All this stuff worked fine about a month ago. After this I tried all known DVB versions, DVBD 1st and 2nd editions and no results. Looks like magic :-(. By the way, under Windows everything works fine, maybe it would be the best way to install cygwin and run the squid under Windows? I look forward to any advices. Thanks.

Sorry, but the hardware does not support it (and I asked the people who should know). Only 50 Hz are supported with PAL-BGI and you will only get the first 3/4 of the screen filled (but in color!). Still, if anyone is interested in that mode I can add it. There also is PAL-M with 60Hz but that comes out black/white on my TV.

If it is possible to send keyboard events of the overlay-window (or translate mouse events) to the vdr process we would already have was i thought of a "different kind of video recorder". Of course there needs to be an locking mechanism, which allows only one or another to use the hardware (priority?), at best with distinction between record and playback. (for more than one card respectively) --- For those interested: I made an little hack to the alsa-util "latency", which allows me to hear 3D sound from "any" audio source right now (i'am using a sb-live card) - it just records via /dev/dsp and writes it back... i wonder if this really sounds like it should?

Hmm, maybe I wasn't clear enough. At the moment I only use the dvb-card in a linux box for internet access. The clients are windoze boxes wich connect to the internet through the linux box. On the linux box runs squid (http-proxy) so the linux clients can access the internet though the eon proxies and at the same time the requested content is cached (if possible) The linux box also does ip masquerading because programs like irc, napster, icq, etc. that run on the windoze clients also need to work. But what I was interested in, was the ability to view video or use the fazzt client on my windoze computer even if the dvb-card is in the linux server. That's why I asked it was possible to do that. At the moment I'm not able to test this, but if I get the time to do that, I sure will try :-) Grtz Gerben.

I received few recomendations about software I have to use. One peace of that software (siemens_dvb-0.6.tar.gz) compiled succeful, but with second program( which I was recomended to download from http://linuxtv.org/dvb/dvbd2.tar.gz) I encouraged some problems. First, about the purpose of that program. As I understood its purpose is to tune card hardware for required frequency. Please, correct me, if I am not right, Second. The binary which comes in tarball segfaults at start. Trying to strace it, I didn't find nothing useful. But, anyway, I atached the result to this message.

Trying to compile also didn't give any result: atached filed shows the error messages which I get from compiler. A would be greatly thankfull for any help.

The failure has to be happened during recording with vdr, because it's reproducible with those file (after 24min it suddenly starts). There was no system load during recording, the driver modules were not reinserted between those recordings, just a number of different stations tuned in. The effect just had affected the recorded file, tv showed no signs of failures afterwards. (Signal lost, as i tested during the first recording, is not the reason for that failure) If i'am not the only one with this problem - i guess there is hiding a bug somewhere ;-) How can i track it down? Another problem i found (probably addressing vdr alone), that parts of the osd sometimes vanish: sometimes the main menu does'nt display (but still works), sometimes just the text inside the menu is missing. After reinserting the modules anything does work again. Has someone else recognized a time-lag between pressing stop-ff/fr and the video actually stopping? The time-lag seems to be proportional to the time you play fast-forward or fast-rewind.

Of course making a standard device for video sounds good. But what about different functionality? Analog TV can not be recorded or played-back the same as dvb. (not practicable, but theoretically) So long it's not 100% compatible, it makes module-autoloading difficult, try the following: You have a bttv card and a dvb card - if you press the xawtv-icon all the drivers should load automatically and it should open the right /dev/video* device. Then you press the gVideo-icon and the same with the dvb-modules. It should work independend from order. How can we solve this trouble? The most easy would be a different device-major. Another thing is the current modul-name identity for tuner.o and msp3400.o. I know, it's work in progress, but is it intended that you need just one tuner.o (and one msp3400.o) for all the different cards, with different tuners in your system?

The ioctl() call appears to work and '(front.sync & 0x1F == 0x1F)' is true, but the tv screen remains blank. Switching up and down between channels normally cures this, and a channel that just wasn't tuned in correctly then displays just fine.

I have observed exactly the same today with a recording I made last night with vdr 0.05 and dvb 0.06. I also had problems when switching channels. The whole thing just hung after a while with a frozen (still) picture. I never had any of these problems with dvb 0.05, so I am forced to go back to dvb 0.05. Carsten.

What exactly is incombatible between the io calls of the bttv and DVB drivers? Grabbing via ioctl with the DVB driver will deliver a single uncompressed picture exactly like the bttv driver. Only read/write and tuning is different: - tuning gVideo (or xawtv) could be modified to look for the card capabilities and change the tuning behavior accordingly. (Itīs all open source, knock yourselves out :-) - write bttv does not have it -> no icompatibility The IOMEGA BUZ driver has it, but for motion JPEG, so one should just ignore the data if the card cannot handle it The Stradis driver has it and at least the playback control io calls are compatible with the DVB driver. Now that the DVB driver understands PES directly this could be made fully compatible. - read bttv delivers VBI data in /dev/video, that should be changed anyway only to come out of /dev/vbi So, what besides tuning is really that incompatible??? I donīt say one could not introduce a new device only for the DVB features, but the V4L parts responsible for display on the screen and grabbing single pictures are compatible and should stay available via the V4L interface. > Another thing is the current modul-name identity for tuner.o and msp3400.o. > I know, it's work in progress, but is it intended that you need just one tuner.o > (and one msp3400.o) for all the different cards, with different tuners in your > system? Is it not recommended to change module-names? The tuner driver of the DVB driver should be compatible with the kernel driver and should work with the tuners bttv uses. If not, please tell me. I donīt (and never did) use the tuner input of the bttv driver much (only for testing) and donīt even have a Bt card with tuner installed right now (I really have to get one of those new boards with 6 PCI slots ...). You can forget about the MSP34XX driver. The version which comes with the DVB driver is an old version which once came with bttv. I did not get around adding the features for the analog add-on module of the DVB-C card yet.

If you are in replay-mode and press "Red" it toggels the behaviour of the left/right-keys between fast and slow. Much better would be hitting left/right in pause-Mode goes to slow forward/backward and in play-mode goes to fast-forward/backward (i think this is impossible with current Replay-class-layout, the blue button should go just to pause, not to stop). Another useful thing would be reading the config's out of "~/.vdrrc-*" files instead of current directory and also not hard-coding "/video" - can easily be done there too.

I use the 2.2.14-kernel-bttv and i don't get tuning with the dvb-tuner.o in xawtv - no station tunes in (autoloading the kernel-tuner.o without options does work). Maybe i just did'nt understand it right: if i do "make insmod" in dvb/driver all these modules load, then i "modprobe bttv" and can start "xawtv -c/dev/video1" - but how does the bttv.o know about the previously loaded tuner.o? If the DVB-S-Card (only DVB-C!?) would have a composite/svhs input, i would use 2 of them (ha, would be great if it could convert it to MPEG2 ... ok, just a dream ;-) From Klaus.Schmidinger@cadsoft.de Wed Aug 1 13:17:04 2001 Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2000 18:10:27 +0200 From: Klaus Schmidinger Cc: linux-dvb@linuxtv.org Subject: Re: vdr005-slow-motion-patch ;-) Guido Fiala wrote: > > Hallo, > > had just nothing better to do (really nice code, Klaus :-) > Here is the patch for VDR to do slow-motion-playback. > > If you are in replay-mode and press "Red" it toggels the behaviour > of the left/right-keys between fast and slow. > > Much better would be hitting left/right in pause-Mode goes to slow > forward/backward and in play-mode goes to fast-forward/backward (i think this is > impossible with current Replay-class-layout, the blue button should go just > to pause, not to stop). > > Another useful thing would be reading the config's out of > "~/.vdrrc-*" files instead of current directory and also not hard-coding > "/video" - can easily be done there too. > > Should i send such things just to you, Klaus? Absolutely! However, I'm afraid I won't be able to add these things immediately, because I want to release vdr 0.6 today and am already running out of time (again...). I'll take a look at your patch later these days.

But there will be a card with Linux drivers for that soon. You can encode analog video to MPEG2 with that card and play it back on the DVB card.

No. They seem to have some kind of active packet firewall -- when you configure dvbd to connect, traceroute automagically starts to work (as does ping, telnet to proxy port 8080 etc).

Same here, about 15-25KB/sec / download. -- Q: I am using dvbd and it seems to work. What's difference with dvbd2 ? A: The version number ? I got no clue. I guess improvements have been made to work with the newer drivers... -- Q: Is there some trick to increase speed in a masquerade network ? A: If you get to know one, pls let me know, but as far as my understanding goes, masquerading doesn't affect speeds. -- Q: what are advantages if I use squid ? I know what is squid, but i am unable to relate it to the DVB. A: using squid you can allow internal masqueraded servers direct access to the DVB EON download stream by accessing your squid. even without a internal password. To accomplish this you have to set the EON proxy as 'parent cache' to your squid. Heres the line for your /etc/squid.conf cache_peer 194.177.32.196 parent 8080 3130 default no-query login=username:password -- Q: is EOL offering a news server ? A: Yep. news114.europeonline.net , news115.europeonline.net ... -- Q: is napster working behind dvb ? A: Yes.

I know what is squid, but i am unable to relate it to the DVB. A: using squid you can allow internal masqueraded servers direct access to the DVB EON download stream by accessing your squid. even without a internal password. To accomplish this you have to set the EON proxy as 'parent cache' to your squid.

Hi, i got a few questions and I hope someone can answer them. I got my DVB card in my firewall/server and want to watch Astra Digital TV from INSIDE the network, is this possible ? My LAN looks like this. INTERNET <- Server (DVB) <---> Linux workstation The workstation is masqueraded and squid'ed for EON access. Is there any chance to run something like gVideo on the Linux workstation to watch TV from the DVB card in the server ? The tuning doesn't have to come from the workstation, i can tune from the server, that would be o.k.

I do not think you can run gVideo on the server and redirect its X window to the Linux workstation using the DISPLAY environment variable, because AFAIK gVideo uses an overlay created by the DVB card to display the video, which can obviously not work in a remote X window. What you CAN do is: use Klaus Schmidinger's vdr http://www.cadsoftusa.com/~kls/vdr to record video files on the server, copy the files over the net to your local linux workstation and display them there (convert them from PVA to MPEG and use any MPEG viewer to watch them). > The tuning doesn't have to come from the workstation, i can tune from > the server, that would be o.k. Yes, but be aware that the DVB card cannot receive two transponders at the same time, so when you tune into a TV transponder, you cannot receive data (from EON or whatever) and vice versa. > The easiest way would be to link the workstations /dev/video's to the > servers /dev/video's but i guess that's not possible. sure it's possible. You would have to find a software that plays back PVA without a DVB card, though. If you find (or make) such a thing, you could do a rsh server cat /dev/video | "pva player" (assuming that your LAN is fast enough). Carsten.

You do not have /dev/video and the matching driver and card local on the remote machine, so your problem is to watch a PVA stream on a machine that does not have a /dev/video that accepts PVA. I would believe that you have to do as I said: convert the PVA to MPEG and use an MPEG viewer. But I'd be glad if you can prove me wrong. :-) Try it out and let me know your results. Carsten.

XFree86 4.0 then 4.01 (latest rpms) audio: alsa drivers with oss emulation modules loaded (had to recompile the alsa stuff to get it running with the sblive) ---dvb: driver 0.6 compiles on that without a complaint. modules load OK, not a single error. untested composite output (aint got a TV) had some trouble getting gVideo to get a decent image until I found about the -b [bits per plane] flag (why not use --bpp like in X11?). Meanwhile I installed XFree86 4.01. discovered that the XF86Config-4 files of mandrake come with a line disabling DGA (commented that out). not yet tried : radio stations, dvbd, EON access. questions/suggestions: driver: -what about using simultaneously a connexant/brooktree analog tuner and the dvb-s? works under wincrap BTW (going to test this soon). -what about getting the dvb-s radio part compatible with the /dev/radio interface? -what's the function of the msp3400.o commented out in the Makefile? gVideo: -when going fullscreen we need a way to get back to the previous resolution. doesn't work at least in my configuration -would be nice to be able to scale the image to any proportions (I know, that's a feature...) for EON: my linux/dvb box lives in a masqueraded network, the router/firewall is a minimal distribution (freesco). Freesco is great but doesn't have ssh (so I have no simple way of running Franz Ackermann's scripts) does someone have a couple of scripts/ideas for getting such a configuration to run?

I hat a mail conversation with Marcus Metzler about this. The problem seems to be, that the pva is missing some parameters which are needed for recreating a correct mpg-file. Btw: Technotrends Converter for Windows doesn't create correct mpg-files as well. The resulting files can be played on Windows Media Player but not on for example my DVD-Decoding-Card. I asked Technotrend if they would donate the Source under the GPL however but with no reaction yet. > > what about getting real mpeg2 output right out of the card? > That would definitely be the best solution. > I do not think there is any need for the PVA format at all. Afaik it is a firmware restriction, so it is the only way right now until Technotrend changes their firmware. -- Greetings Michael From Carsten.Koch@icem.de Wed Aug 1 13:17:04 2001 Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2000 20:01:36 +0200 From: Carsten Koch To: linux-dvb@linuxtv.org Subject: Re: remote DVB watching ?

After all, the PVA file can be played back correctly, so all the information is there. Anything that can be played back correctly can be converted to proper MPEG. > Btw: Technotrends Converter for Windows doesn't create correct mpg-files > as well.

I asked Technotrend if they would > donate the Source under the GPL however but with no reaction yet. Read the README file in the DVB directory. Technotrend does not seem to be very cooperative. That's why only the Siemens clone of the Technotrend card is officially supported. Btw: I'd recommend that everyone who wants to buy such a card should buy it from Siemens and let the Siemens people know that you bought it because Linux drivers are available. > > > what about getting real mpeg2 output right out of the card? > > That would definitely be the best solution. > > I do not think there is any need for the PVA format at all. > > Afaik it is a firmware restriction, so it is the only way right now > until Technotrend changes their firmware. I thought convergence has source for the firmware? Would it not be possible to repair the firmware so it outputs proper MPEG? If not, would it not at least be possible to repair the firmware so the data sent by it would it make easier for the driver to convert it to proper MPEG? In any event I think it is a bad idea to see a proprietary data format at any place outside the driver. I believe even Technotrend has realized that - in spite of the fact that they were the ones who made that design mistake in the first place. That's why they wrote the external converter. It would be nice if Linux were smarter and would not expose the PVA format at all. Carsten.

Would be nice but outside of Deutschland getting the Siemens card is next to impossible. Most people are getting the Hauppauge. Someone contact Siemens and tell 'em to improve their distribution/marketing...

I needed an audio driver present only in recent bttv releases.
