It was much simpler to implement that way. > Why do you need to delete a buffer and then recreate it when you could > simply stop sending data to the buffer until a new signal comes in and > then continue from where you left off? Because the video format can change when you change channels, and restarting the buffer made handling this easier. > This behavior would suggest > that the code implimenting the buffer is too tightly integrated into > the tuner code and should be refactored as a separate module. It suggests no such thing, really. The buffer's got nothing to do with the 'tuner code'. Isaac
