method in the TS Feed API be used to set a h/w buffer/circular buffer instead of a vmalloc if NOBUFS is not defined? When would you use this circular buffer when NOBUFS is NOT defined? Thanks, Rob : ) -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

don't care much, I just thought > the current ci.h is simpler than the old ca.h, and thus better ;-) Keeping it simple is with 1 CI device per slot sounds good. BTW, I guess it's no use to have an API between a smart-card and a host as this will be confidential info. Right?

ates a threshold interrupt */ Numbers greater than say 100 would actually mean the number of bytes to receive before generating a threshold interrupt. e.g. If the value of 256 is passed to the ioctl, then each time 256 bytes are received by the h/w you will get a threshold interrupt and this number of bytes would then be gobbled by the callback function. Hope this clarifies the situation : ) Cheers, Rob ; ) -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

he ability to route an input TS from say an external demod to a C/A module and then into the logical demux device is covered. Also, h/w that does not have a C/A or C/I router will still function the same i.e. demux selects the required front_end. Thanks for the comments!
