The only example I can find in the DVB driver applications is in szap (not 
tzap or libdvb/tuxzap) and it does the following:

  /* discard stale QPSK events */
  while (1)
    {
      if (ioctl (fefd, FE_GET_EVENT, &ev) == -1)
        break;
    }

I assume that this is all that is needed - I'll add it to dvbtune and 
dvbstream.

Regards,

Dave.
