As far as I know, there isn't one because the software is not in a fit state 
to be used by the public :)  It requires specific patches to Xine and VDR, 
and is likely to be highly unstable... for that reason the author requested 
you mail him directly for the code...

Check the recent list archives at linuxtv.org (within the last month) ... 

I personally have limited interest in it, since the quality will never be as 
good as a dedicated MPEG2 decoder (progressive versus interlaced output, 
etc.)

Oh, yes, just noticed Frank's suggestion of using streamdev plugin... that 
would work, but wouldn't provide a complete comfortable solution - but it 
might be good enough for what you want...
