rtl2832 chip driver

[Jan Hoogenraad <jan-conceptronic@hoogenraad.net>]

Hi Ole:

Try vlc or keffeins, and see if they have the same audio problem.
Also: try playing a normal sound mp3 file with them.
me-tv and rtl2832 havce some problems:

Thanks for the Sandberg link.

I found Realtek stuff that looks very familiar to the RTL2831 stuff I 
put into another HG branch:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jhoogenraad/rtl2831-r2

This is again code where the frontend and backend have not been 
separated. Seems realtek has their branch kind of working, based on 
their windows approach.

Antti has set up a new version from scratch at:
