Well, I said it needed touch up. ;-) After all I didn't seriously believe i=
t=20
gets merged in current state (and yes, I didn't think about the module issu=
e,=20
but you're right , of course). But it simply didn't seem like dvb guys are=
=20
caring about the problem. I once (probably half a year ago already) mailed =
to=20
linux-dvb and got zero response. That told me everything.

Personally I won't invest more time in perfecting the patch. I just wanted =
to=20
get some attention to this problem and will use the patch privately for my=
=20
own happiness...

Thanks for your input.
