[linux-dvb] a strange EIT Section

[Patrick Boettcher]

Hi list,

I'm playing around with a si-parser and encountered a strangeness.

I supposed when using the section-demux-API and providing a large enough 
buffer for reading, I always get a complete (valid?) section. Indeed, this 
works most of the time. The following example is a section I received 
yesterday:

The first 8 bytes of the table header:

68 61 6E 20  68 65 69 72		han  heir

obviously trash, it is part of the section maybe... the binary data goes 
on: "aten wo.lgn, macht di. Sache ni.ht besser"

and what the parser made of it:

   table_id = 68 104      (is a valid EIT table_id, but not on PID 0x12?)
   section_syntax_indicator = 0 0
   reserved_future_use0 = 1 1
   reserved0 = 2 2
   section_length = 16e 366 (valid, the packet is 369 bytes)
   service_id = 2068 8296
   reserved1 = 1 1

Who should take card about such problems? The parser or the section-dmx of 
the DVB API?

thanks for your help,
Patrick.
