Hi Devin,

thankyou very much for investigating and patching.

unfortunately for me, my system (ubuntu 10.04 with 2.6.32-32) will not 
boot to try it...

After downloading source via "git clone 
git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git" and successfully patching, compiling 
and installing the modules using a text terminal, i reboot and before i 
get to X my system hangs about 30 seconds into the boot process right 
after a bunch of messages warning me about using backported media build 
on an old kernel ("don't use it for production" etc etc).

i would be more than happy to test your patch but i'm sorry i'm not sure 
what to do about that booting problem. i think i will need to try to 
find a way to re-install the standard ubuntu media modules into my 
2.6.32-32 module directories (whilst running a different kernel) to even 
allow my system to boot on 2.6.32-32 !!
