With regards to the dst, i have explained earlier to you that

1) the dst is not a frontend
2) i do not wish to use the frontend attach methods with regards to
dst/dst_ca

To mention, we had these discussions much long back how to go about it
and don't think that every time a new developer get's an account with
linuxtv.org, this has to be a matter that has to discussed to death

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.dvb/16156/match=patch+dvb+bt8xx+cleanup

(eventhough of not much concern) If you now see most of the code in
dvb-bt8xx especially the DMA stuff was refactored from the dst driver.

But that said, the dst *is* different, so WTH ?
