Can videobuf_dvb be used by hardware with MPEG decoders, too? My (probably not up-to-date) impression was that it's been designed specifically for "budget" cards with no demux or decoder hardware. But the sw_filter functions are useful for those devices, too, i.e. to feed a PID to multiple userspace clients or to provide section filters where some kind of hardware only provides basic PID filtering.
