Wow! thanks for the feedback! _HOWEVER_ you are/were looking at old source 
code. I have recently rewritten a lot of this userspace code (except the 
utils) to make it robust and standards compliant (hopefully) :) 

The code you saw in libdvbsi and libdvben50221 was deleted a week or so ago 
(in fact libdvbsi is gone completely), and replaced with the hierachy of pure 
C libraries at:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps?mf=3ea620d41841;path=/lib/;style=gitweb

libucsi: SI parser with complete coverage of all standard MPEG+DVB SI tables. 
Aims to be as efficient as possible, and uses no memory allocation 
whatsoever.

libdvben50221: Rewritten EN50221 stack. Supports Link Level CI interfaces 
(e.g. budget-ci) as well as high level ones (e.g. twinhan). 

libdvbapi: Wrapper library for the raw DVB IOCTL interface to make it nicer 
and easier to use.

libdvbcfg: Standardised parsers for DVB configuration files.

ca_zap has been rewritten to use these. 

The intention is to make all the dvb utils use these libraries at some point 
in the future, but I'm busy with fixing other stuff just now. 

It wouldn't actually take much to add tuning support to ca_zap using 
libdvbapi.. it would then become an application able to tune all card types 
and also perform CA setup... replacing the s/t/a/czap utils completely.
