Hans,

Thanks for all the great work on the ivtv driver, and the excellent
support. 

Anyway sorry to send the list and you on a chase after bugs that
probably don't exist. 

After running for about a week with .udelay = 10, I started seeing the
following error again, and lost sound on recordings:

i2c-adapter i2c-3: sendbytes: error - bailout.
msp3400 3-0040: I/O error #0 (read 0x10/0x200)

This error is always on the same card.

My problem could be a defective pvr 350 card. I pulled the card and
has not seen a problem or any errors with my other pvr 350 card. I
guess the only way to test this card is setup a system under windows,
which I can't do at the current time. 

Thanks again,

Alan
