Hi all, I recently started a project to add support for userspace tuners to Linux. Recently I read a thread about the saa7134 [1], and there was a statement that tuning is done in userspace. So this project might be interesting for some of you. The Linux tuner driver is implemented as a shared library in userspace, it interacts through an interface with the linux kernel in the backend of the kerneldrivers. In Linux a userspace daemon loads the shared tunerlibraries as soon as they're requested from kernelspace. Also the xc3028 got mentioned in the saa driverthread, it should be fairly easy to reuse the code [2] with BSD. The project is also dual licensed BSD/GPL.
