Well, Holger, you keep repeating over and over that the av7110 driver
is "broken" and that this is "ancient" hardware and how great "modern"
hardware ist - but IMHO you totally neglect that the av7110 still is
probably
the most widely used hardware! People have invested real money into
these
full featured DVB cards and just don't want to throw them away.
Plus, there just isn't any reasonable alternative
And don't say "use a budget card and do replay over the graphics card"
- the
average user wants to insert *ONE* card into his PC and use that one for
recording AND replay. Besides: replay over graphics card means MPEG
decoding
in software, which in turn requires more CPU power... Also: are
there any
budget cards already that have drivers that support CAMs? I have to
admit that
I don't know that.
So, what about just fixing the av7110 driver?
(nope, let's design cheap and cool hardware instead - evil things need
to get changed, not worked around - ;)
we'll keep you posted...
