 one bug that causes mplayer to "EOF" when using skystar2 2.6b.

End Of File you know. The stream from /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 sometimes
suddently stops when playing with mplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 or with dd
if=/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 | mplayer - .
These "stops" have gotten rare on my system. Iv had days when this has
happened like every minute or so. Im thinking this is some very difficult
bug to find as i enabled most(level 1) debugging at skystar2.c and got
nothing. debug level 2 caused some lockups so i havent tried that again...
Iv also heard rumors
that this might have something to do with LBNs getting turned of(power
saving) but they still keep appearing even though i disabled all power off
functionality, set_tuner_polarity with polarity=0, LNB power off. Im
thinking this might be a "general" coding bug. DMA status gets changed when
this happens i think.

I also remember having some problems when unloading relevant dvb modules
when they are in use. Cant unload it at all again :-/ This is probably
because skystar2.c(or something else) is not properly handling module usage
count(i know some kernel coding :) ). Thats pretty much all bugs iv seen.
Keep up the good work! I will be trying to debug it if I get EOF's again.
