I've found a problem (maybe bug) with HEAD driver (maybe it causes the
mplayer bugs also)

it's not a bug, it's the not-disabled-powermanagement. See below.

When I don't attach an antenne to the DVB card, and start HEAD driver,
and after that I start an application which want to tune to a channel,
kdvb-fe proccess starts to eat my CPU time, and even after quitting the
application which want to tune (dvbtune, scan, vdr ....) the kdvb-fe
still eats CPU time, (~50% on my C766) until I restart the driver.

remove the "dvb_shutdown_timeout=0" module parameter from your Makefile when insmod'ing the driver or pass a timeout value > 0 to the dvb-core module.

Then the kdvb-fe thread will exit after a few seconds and won't try to to catch a transponder anymore.
