Thanks for your work on the neglected driver.

I've only looked at the kernel patches and queued them at
http://git.jannau.net/git/linux/log/?h=hd_pvr/20100726_ay

I've changed several patches and fixed style issues, I've torn some
apart combined some to have only related changes in a single commit.

All commits with my sign-ofs are ok, please send your sign-of too after
verifying that the commit messages are ok.

"V4L/DVB: hdpvr: add error checks and debug messages to the URB callback"
is in principle ok to, but I've found a buffer handling problem during
review. My patch doesn't fix it.

I would like to avoid changing the audio input and codec defaults. using
the default_audio_input module option doesn't help?
