There hasn't been any further API changes after that changeset.

The only other change (to dvb-core) is a backward compatibility add on
from Anssi Hannula, but that change i haven't ported yet to the
multiproto_plus tree.

Maybe something came up, while merging the two trees .. ?

Let me see what i can dig through.

Thanks for looking it up.
