According to my information (a message on the linux-dvb mailinglist), the old mailinglists (V4L and DVB) are now merged into linux-media.
what does "merged" mean? Are Posts on the "old" list replicated to the new one?
No. Merge as in combined to one and/or a replacement for the old V4L/DVB mailinglists. Messages send to the 'old' mailinglists will not automaticly be available on the linux-media mailinglist. That is, if you don't count a CC as a replication method ;-)

Well, so what is the preferred method of making the DVB driver developers aware of bugs, if one doesn't want to suffer from all the traffic on the linux-media list?
I did initially subscribe to that list, but after a few days I unsubscribed again, because there was way too much non DVB related stuff there.
As for VDR, I'll probably just add a note to the INSTALL file, saying that the DVB driver header files are broken and should be patched or replaced with an older version.

I've forwarded the header issue to linux-media. If there will be any answers / comments about it, I'll keep you informed.

Seems this is more of a general issue. As I digged a little bit deeper, I saw, that the root of all evil is a clash between glibc's stdint.h and linux/types.h (the latter defines some POSIX types defined in stdint.h as well, which wasn't the case for asm/types.h).
I'm not sure yet, if this is a glibc or a kernel issue, but I'll file a bug report as soon as I know.
As for the problem Reinhard Nissl reported for the missing 'uint16_t' in linux/dvb/audio.h - I can't reproduce this problem. Not with 2.6.29 and not with the latest driver from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb.

I conclude your current situation is, that right now you do not get any dvd-related messages, since you are not subscribed.
I propose, that you subscribe, and do one of the following.
• Either configure your list options to not receive any messages. That way you can send messages to report bugs and maybe ask to CC you.
• Or set up a filter in your mail program to delete all messages from this list except they have [DVB] or so in the subject line and make sure the subject of your messages contains this word.
[…]
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks, I'll do that. I'll filter on "^Subject:.*dvb" (case insensitive).
