Hi! Quite some time ago (112 days ago), you ITPed em8300. I'm quite interested in getting my Hollywood+ card to run on linux with xine. Are you planning to release soon?
Moreover, I've seen that unofficial debian package already exist. They are made by Jonas Birme and are available at http://www.birme.se/dxr3/. If you are late with your packaging, you might perhaps try and use these packages as a starting point. Or you should try to work with Jonas Birme, instead of duplicating work... Best regards, Nicolas
