My plans for the next Kaffeine version is to move all access to the hardware to
libdvbv5. It means that device notification will come from the library, and the
library will only work with the devices it knows, as, for local devices, it
will rely on udev to get the device name (as they can be changed via udev
rules). This is meant to fix a long-standing issue on Kaffeine that got broken
on version 1.0.0, related to dtvdaemon support. That's why we can't add
device-specific hacks at the Kaffeine's code. Once such changes were merged in
Kaffeine, it shouldn't be hard for a vendor that doesn't provide open source
drivers to develop other ways to integrate with libdvbv5 that won't require
touching at the Kaffeine nor at the library code.
