Thanks for that Lawrence. I will test this soon.

With regard to the gain control on the WM8775, perhaps you can
look at this:

http://hg.kewl.org/v4l-dvb-test/shortlog

You can find some patches here:
http://hg.kewl.org/v4l-dvb-test/rev/c1d603af3bef
http://hg.kewl.org/v4l-dvb-test/rev/302d51bf2baf
http://hg.kewl.org/v4l-dvb-test/rev/8b24b8211fc9

Which sound like they would do what you desire?

I should rebuild these patches soon to for better testing purposes
but in the meantime please test if you are interested.

Cheers
