Re: [linux-dvb] DVB-S2 / Multiproto and future modulation support

["ChaosMedia > WebDev" <webdev@chaosmedia.org>]

It's not my place to judge if the problem is moving in the right 
direction or not but it's a good thing that something happens.
I'll trust the experienced devs whom acked this proposal.

Writting a multiproto patch for kaffeine to get dvb-s2 support, got me 
to learn a bit about v4l-dvb api and multiproto. Again i'm no 
experienced coder, i followed some examples to keep v4l-dvb backward 
compatibility and it wasn't really a walk in the park nor was it really 
necessary now that i look at it, either your use multiproto or you don't 
and if you do, patch your app and build it again.
But well it's working and that's what was most important to me, to get 
it working "asap".

So as Christophe Thommeret wrote, who helped a lot dealing with 
kaffeine, i'll support whichever api is going to bring dvb-s2 and new 
dvb hardware support to the kernel.

In the meantime i'll keep using and maintaining my multiproto patch as 
it's curently done with most other applications, so end users don't have 
to wait for the whole kernel thing to get completed.

And of course if or when the new api has to be tested and modifications 
to be done on the application side, i'll join the effort.
