[linux-dvb] No more data after EBUFFEROVERFLOW

[Klaus Schmidinger <Klaus.Schmidinger@cadsoft.de>]

There have been several reports that VDR stops recording after
the driver reports an EBUFFEROVERFLOW (which is listed in the log
file as "Unknown error 769" since EBUFFEROVERFLOW is only defined 
inside the driver's code).

Taking a close look at DVB/driver/dmxdev.c I saw that the 'buffer.error'
is initialized to '0' in DmxDevBufferInit(), and later set to various
error codes - but NEVER reset to '0'. Apparently this causes the driver 
to no longer deliver (useful) data.

Am I missing something?
Shouldn't buffer.error be reset at some point?
Or must the application (VDR) do something special after receiving
EBUFFEROVERFLOW to reset that error condition?

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Klaus
