Forgive my ignorance. But it is really hopeless to include a private header for a device into another device. Anyway not talking about V4L1/2/n headers, but about DVB device (demod/tuner) private headers being included publicly. Private means private, i don't understand how the notion comes around that a private header is a public header. It is _not_ named private for no reason. Manu
