these numbers.  Yup. Trying to think of a way round the problem.
Johannes suggested having the frontend thread poll the values
regularly (e.g.  once a second), and cache the values
internally. Then the IOCTLs called by  the user application
return those internal cached values.  Johannes, why is blocking
in the IOCTLs to monitor the BER etc bad? Is it  because the API
is defined not to?  More information about the linux-dvb mailing
