Hi, since we are trying to find a sane way for integrating DVB/ATSC devices with FreeBSD how about using a library which gives us more possibilities? PCI devices are still not possible to be used with userspace only drivers, while with USB devices this is no problem, so in case the developer can decide if he wants to write a userspace driver which does not create any real nodes in /dev or to handle most things in kernelspace. Basically the first version of the library only has to replace open/close/read/write/ioctl/mmap/munmap/dup/poll/access(maybe)/stat. Since most linux players have to be modified for FreeBSD anyway this should not be such a problem, maybe the hack that we have a kernelmodule emulating the videointerfaces is not really the best way to go for. I volunteer to port some v4l-dvb Apps and tvtime to FreeBSD. Since VDPAU also seems to work on FreeBSD I'm very much interest to support our DVB-C (especially for HDTV)/DVB-T/analogTV/FM radio USB Stick on FreeBSD, now the driver is working but there are just no applications available which work out of the box.
