Well, well, well.

What if you want to record what you are currently watching? The current API
does not have a nice way to specify that. That's why the Metzler Bros.
chose to implement DMX_PES_AUDIO/VIDEO + DMX_OUT_TAP to mean
"DMX_OUT_DECODER and DMX_OUT_TAP". Which makes sense, IMHO.

What bug? Can you be more specific? Is it limited to Budget/Nova cards?

I don't get it.
