Plugging along...

Made my first commit to Kaffeine4 tonight:

Also, pboettcher took the rest of my Pinnacle 801e changes without modification:

Now I just need Mauro to do an hg pull to v4l-dvb and it's done.

On a separate note, I had been using my em28xx HVR-950 for my Kaffeine4 ATSC scanning work. I tried my 801e in the same configuration, and wow is the tuning slow by comparison. I really should make the changes to Steven Toth's xc5000 driver to get rid of XREG_BUSY, since that's what's introducing the slowdown (every register write results in a 500ms delay). It would be great if I could get that in before the 2.6.28 window opens, so it gets merged at the same time as the rest of the 801e work.

Todo for this week:
  • Finish devinheitmueller.com domain transfer, cancel Yahoo hosting
  • Start looking at Kaffeine4 audio situation
  • Try to assemble a definitive list of work items for Kaffeine4
  • Cleanup xc5000 i2c code and submit to Steven
  • Figure out what I'm doing about building ventilation situation
  • Call Air conditioner people about coming out Friday, yet again
  • Clean apartment
  • Read the Phonon documentation
  • Buy my own copy of Leopard and Bootcamp my Macbook for Ubuntu
