That would be an issue with the application -- not the driver. This is *not* the first supported hybrid analog / digital device to appear and be supported under linux. There are many other devices that allow analog and digital video reception, while only allowing one at a time. The application needs to treat the analog and digital interfaces as two sides to a single device.
