There is another thread that it is also relevant for the discussions.
In order to help with the discussions, I prepared a set of slides that
explains how the DVB pipelines are and what are the issues with MC.

They're at:
	http://linuxtv.org/downloads/presentations/media_summit_2015_US/dtv_media_controller_discussion_v1.pdf

I added there the links for the related messages that were sent to the
mailing list. Please notice that the example at slide 8 is fictional,
as getting those hardware diagrams would generally require to sign an
NDA. So, the example were created from a slide that I found at the
Internet, under:
	http://www.eetasia.com/ARTICLES/2005AUG/4/2005AUG22_EMS_NP.gif

where I merged the missing entities demod and demux, and guessed that
the output could be sent through GPU and ALSA pipelines, and that
cross-bars would allow different pipeline arrangements.

So, while it is a fictional diagram, it is actually pretty close to
what would happen on a real hardware for a TV set or a Set Top Box.

Mauro
