I remember when I first asked about this on the linuxdvb ml; they told 
me a new branch of the drivers would have been out in weeks... 
newstruct. Until much more recent times, VDR didn't use it, however.

There should be an advantage with newstruct: all the frontends are 
supposed to report the same *range* of values. With "oldstruct" drivers 
every revision of the card reported different range of values, some from 
0 to 256 others from 0 to 2^16...

P.S. my very first patch DIDN'T output the |||| symbols. That was a 
patch to my code...

let's say, there is only one thing left from my original code: the name!


bye!
