Hello,
in the Linux world, the first stable aren't necessary really stable, it just mean feature freeze.
From my point of view, the inclusion of DVB-S2 and H.264 together with
multiproto is a must have before a feature freeze. I feel we are really near of that point, I wish 1.6 could include those.
Off course, only Klaus could tell how near we are...
Maybe subtitles (as long as they could be disabled as I don't have to see them...) ?
That way multiproto would come really quickly into the kernel and we'll have a DVB-S2/H.264's VDR really out of the box :-)
