[linux-dvb] Re: dvb-input PATCH for mplayer

[Nico <sabbi@cs.unibo.it>]

Thanks very much, I'll include some of the fixes in my patch.
It seems that gmplayer and dvbin don't go along, I'll fix it as soon as I
can.
I didn't know that VDR 1.2 changed the channels format definition; I'll
update the doc accordingly.
