These files are part of the dvb-core implementation, which builds a driver framework usable by various hardware platforms. The Linux DVB API document does not specify the details of the dvb-core implementation, it deals mostly with the API visible to userspace programs. There's an out-of-date description of the "kernel demux API", though, which specifies part of the interaction between dvb-core and demux hardware drivers. Please note: We restructured the driver source as part of the effort to get it included in linux-2.6. The result can be found in our CVS module "dvb-kernel" (see http://linuxtv.org/cvs/), and in the current linux-2.6-test kernel source. Because of some shortcomings of the current API we currently are working on the next API version, which is in CVS module "dvb-kernel-v4". You can search the mailing list for more information, discussion started around march.
