Hi

Here is a better version.
It is much much faster, and is also able to blink the kaffeine screen.
The blink comes when kaffeine tries to read data stream with DMA:
Syslog has message "mantis start feed & dma" and then status is zero and 
sync is zero.

I was able to restart kaffeine without a computer reboot by doing following:
1. make sure that kdvb process does not exist.
2. reload drivers:
/sbin/rmmod mantis
/sbin/rmmod cu1216
/sbin/modprobe mantis

Sleep function does not seem to make any difference: even though 
kaffeine pauses
by doing sleep, it blinks (kaffeine uses xine frontend).
Could the problem be 64bit DMA related?
I don't have a 32bit distribution to try.
I have NForce4 chipset. Here is a Kaffeine screen probe:
