It's -in the works-, but it's pretty stable on my system.

but the lists over there help out with it all.

Yes, because it originated from the PVR-250/350 card, which also do mpeg2.
It uses libavcodec for software decoding, and might see various hardware
assisted methods at a later stage.

BTW: Great work on the driver, very stable here!
