Hi all,
I've no idea if this is useful to anyone but me, but I've done the
"quick and dirty" hack I mentioned about switching audio subcariers for
places like Romania. The pal option to tda9887.o now allows a setting like
pal="dg", specifying that we should use pal-d on VHF and pal-g on UHF.
I am absoultely convinced that I've done a very bad thing in just
declaring a variable external without explicitly exporting it, but I
didn't bother looking up how to do that properly and it works OK...
In use you need to to a NORM adjustment after changing between [UV]HF,
(which isn't automatic, at least under xawtv-3.74)
but that's a lot simpler than reloading the module!
Hope this is useful to someone
David
PS feel free to tell me what I'm breaking!
