It might be nice to set multiple section filters with different
filter/mask-pairs on the same pid, e.g. for epg parsing, where one mask
might not match all desired table ids exactly. You could "dynamically"
expand or narrow filters without increasing the number of open file
descriptors, thus maybe reducing the number of threads of select() stuff
needed in userspace. (e.g. always filter current/next events in the
background and occassionally add/remove some specific filters to get
detailed event info or 7-day preview).

Regards,
Andreas
