I had a deeper look to both drivers, and I must say the features of Steve's one are really interesting. I don't think any of those has been tested with digital inputs (I have ADV76xx chips on my board, which I hope will be available one day for those interested) and so, I can test and help adding some of the missing parts. And for at least a week or two, I have all of my time for it, so it would be of great help to know which one has the bigger chance to be integrated... :) Thanks again, JM -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
