I guess there aren't many cDevice-PlugIns out there at this time, and those 
are being well-maintained (dxr3, streamdev, any missing?), so IMO it should 
be no problem to have them adapted shortly. 

In fact, this new feature would also solve some other (minor) problems. I had 
to make sure that the primary device (dxr3) plugin is placed before any input 
devices in the commandline (if there's no dvb hardware present), I guess that 
will not be necessary anymore ;)
