Hi Rob, your arguments are not obvious to me. Maybe its because i did not follow the whole thread. If i understood it right you can add filter and do afterwards the start. And even if you use autostart, and your audio start will be delayed, this does not mean that your audio is not in lip sync,

Hi Again, Why don't we do the obvious which is to allow the DVB_DMX_START ioctl start all filters on the fd. This means that we can add new filters or remove old ones (after stopping) and then issue the START ioctl to start the new ones. Any old filters that were already running won't be

Basic difference in your proposal is that when you add a filter without autostart, the filter is not started, even if there was an START ioctl before on the fd. Another START ioctl will start the added filters and will not touch the allready started ones. Is this correct? tom
