Hi,

       I've several reports on broken commands and achknowledge
from/to the ARM of FF DVB cards.  And this even with the fixes
which Oliver and I have developed to be able to detected if
the ARM has finished its command queue before a new transponder
is choosen with the frontend.  Also I've seen some reports on this
list and also get some reports on broken TS streams from budget
and FF cards.

This leads me to the conclusion that currently the saa7146 part
is not usable under high I/O pressure.  Digital AV data delivered
in the line TS -> PES -> payload do not accept any error without
loosing large picture sequences and getting large audio dropouts.

Is this also a problem with today's kernel snapshot (2.6.10-rc2-bk15) with the current dvb-kernel from cvs? I have noticed that the latest dvb-kernel updates seem to help alot with the latest kernel snapshot and new firmware.

Thanks for all your work Dr. Werner. :)
