This patch doesn't work for me: dma delivers fine to the first recipient, but fails delivery for all other recipients, logging an illegal seek to syslog: Jul 10 01:15:52 marvin dma[45137]: e7.28401130: remote delivery deferred: cannot seek: Illegal seek -- Daniel Roethlisberger http://daniel.roe.ch/
