I am, for the moment, OK with the fact that if I close Mplayer by hitting the 
'Q' key things are fine but hitting the close button on the corner of the 
Mplayer video window results in things not being closed out properly further 
resulting in not being able to use or unload the IVTV driver until I reboot.

There is a secondary element to this. I don't always remember to hit the 'Q' 
key and so a continuous stream of:

 ivtv: ENC IRQ OVERFLOW: #1107 Stealing a Buffer, 1024 currently allocated

messages are generated and if the machine is left running long enough 
eventually filling up the partition where the log files are kept. In my case as 
I expect it is with most people, this is my root partition and so upon filling 
up the partition extraordinary measures are needed to clear out the log files 
to free up the space to allow a normal boot to be successful.

This poses the question. Is it possible to design things so under normal 
logging levels the sparse message condition is handled with individual messages 
logged as is the current case and the many messages condition is recognized by 
a routine that says 'Hey there are too many of these messages being generated 
and I am going to stop logging them until some sanity returns'?

Later, Seeker
