Ok that's what i feared.
I only did a video output right now, guess i'll have to make an audio
output driver too then.

My question is, can I have a audio output that writes MPEG audio only data
to the card and video output that writes MPEG video only data to the card
or does it requires one single write of multiplexed A-V MPEG data ?

I'm aware of all of that.
I'll update the ivtv/pvr related code from MPlayer at each new kernel (and
associated ivtv driver) release. For sure having a full V4L2 compliance is
better/easier.

As a matter of fact, you can consider that the MPlayer code for handling
ivtv/pvr will always support _ONLY_ the latest official ivtv driver
release (i don't wanna struggle with #ifdef everywhere).
