I've noticed that there are 2 ioctl DMX_SET_BUFFER_SIZE, one for the demux, one 
for the dvr.
The second is not implemented.

switch (cmd) {
case DMX_SET_BUFFER_SIZE:
         // FIXME: implement
         ret = 0;
         break;

Could you please help me:

1) how many ringbuffers are there?
2) I'm reading from dvr, which one do I need to set?
3) I can try to implement the above code if needed.

Cheers

Andrea
