why don't you want to use the current VDR version ported on the 
NEWSTRUCT branch of the driver?

there are, but they are not specified and IIRC they don't match the 
delays required by the DiSEqC spec.

not without touching the driver source.

not without touching the driver source.

not without touching the driver source.

use the NEWSTRUCT branch, you can get a ported VDR from Klaus' 
Schmidinger's ftp-server. We changed the DiSEqC API in order to allow 
more flexibility, now the application can control all these parameters. 
I would be happy to help in any problems you encounter.

Please don't forget to publish your modifications, I'm sure that there 
are more people interested in a complete DiSEqC support of VDR.

good luck,

Holger
