It would make much more sense to complete (or at least try to complete)
xawtv 4.0 pre instead of fixing bugs in 3.96.

Reasons why?

1. 4.0 pre contains more innovation, new ideas.
2. 3.96 s analogue only, not DVB.
3. Both the analogue AND the DVB driver development section do need
reference applications for driver development: 4.0 pre contains BOTH:
reference apps for analogue AND DVB driver development.

Cheers
