Problem found.  It's a bug in v4l-dvb, a simple transposition typo.  I 
will generate a changeset for that one, which I'm sure will get pulled.  
It's blindingly obvious.  This bug has been present in the repository 
for over a month and nobody noticed :-(

I will try to get this finished up tonight.

There will be another pvrusb2 standalone snapshot coming, though it 
technically isn't needed for this bugfix.  There's other resync stuff 
coming for that snapshot, and I want to first take a closer look at the 
I2C card id issue that the LIRC folks are making noises about.

I haven't forgotten about the raw mode fun coming up (and yes Hans I saw 
your reply).  But stability for existing stuff must come first...
