So there might be a problem in the lower saa7146 parts of the driver. I 
must admit that there are probably many other pitfalls in that part of 
the driver. After the DVB driver had been forked off my old saa7146 
driver, which was good-enough for me at that time, these parts have not 
been improved, while I have been improving my saa7146 driver in parallel 
up to now.

Although I'm the "saa7146 guy" please understand that I won't do any 
major changes or debugging in that part of the driver anymore (see 
below) -- some things are simply too stupid in there and must die.

Hmm, perhaps you can give the "dvb-kernel" CVS driver a try. This is 
exactly the same dvb-core, the same frontend drivers and the same av7110 
driver, only the saa7146 subsystem has been changed to support 
Video4Linux-2 for full-featured cards for example. It's the basis for 
the upcoming 2.6 kernel and the old av7110-saa7146-driver will be marked 
as obsolete when 2.6 comes out.
