Hi,

I've got 2 patches for dvb-core: bug fix for DMX_SET_BUFFER_SIZE for dvb and implementation of the same ioctl for the dvr.

I've already sent those patches a few times with very little feedback.
I have not understood who is the maintainer of the common code in dvb-core.
Could someone please let me know if I am wasting my time and the patches are not good or irrelevant.

Here is (again) a brief description of the patches and where to find them.

1) Patch number 1 is to fix a bug when shrinking the demux buffer. This bug causes the kernel to crash completely

2) The second patch is about the implementation of the ioctl DMX_SET_BUFFER_SIZE for the dvr. The ioctl call is currently available but not implemented.
Currently the default is 192522 which lasts only about 1 sec when saving the whole TS.

I look forward to receiving some feedback.

Andrea
