Holger et al...
as per my recent post I have encountered a problem
with coexistence of bt878.o and btaudio.o
both modules happily go grabbing all bt878 audio
channels on all bt878 cards they can find as soon as they load up. This
basically means that a bt878 analogue card and bt878 DVB card can't
coexist.
I'd like to propose a general fix for this which
would have to include the assumption that people will - for some bizarre reason
known only to themselves - want to use an analogue and a digital card in the
same server.
The fix is to update the pci_device_id structure in
bt878.c based on the premise that there are far fewer bt878 DVB cards around
than there are analogue tv cards. This would of course mean generating a
registry of bt878 DVB card PCI ID's. Fortunately the Avermedia guys were kind
enough to use the subvendor and subdevice ID's which is how I am picking up the
card in my patched bt878. I am not sure what the situation is for other bt878
based DVB cards. Any idea?
FYI the Avermedia DVB-T is
.subvendor=0x1461
.subdevice=0x0761
It works a treat if you patch bt878 with the id's
above (replacing PCI_ANY_ID), then load the bt878.o module _before_
btaudio.o
If you're Ok with this approach, I'll put out a
call for anyone with a BT878 based DVB card to send me their lspci -vn output
and I'll capture them for future reference if you like.
regards,
Mark.
