That is with dvb_usb_af9015 loaded but with "remote=0" module parameter to disable the remote control input that aparently is done by polling.

remote=0 does not disable polling, it is for selecting correct remote.

Well, setting remote=0 does have an effect (af9015.c):

if (val == AF9015_IR_MODE_DISABLED || val == 0x04) { af9015_properties[i].rc_key_map = NULL; af9015_properties[i].rc_key_map_size = 0;

While every other (valid) value for "remote" assigns a key map at that point and further sets the af9015_config.ir_table. I guess thats has consequences so that even if polling occurrs, it doesn't cause a whole lot of other actions.

You can disable polling by setting proper module param for module dvb-usb.

Where "proper" would be? :-)

(With "remote=2" it goes up by about 50 wakeups per second. OK, AFAIK USB input devices need to be polled. No way around it. But does it have to be at 20ms intervals?)

hmm, It should be 150ms according to the code. No idea why it generates 50 wakeups.

My guess would be that each polling action generates several USB packets which in turn cause several wakeups...

I have no idea why.

Does your vdr let your machine sleep nicely?
