Comment (by Aaron McCarthy <mccarthy.aaron at gmail.com>):

 I have been working on this for a while.  I haven't submitted it yet
 because my code isn't ready, but If other people are going to start
 working on this I thought I might as well put it forward.

 So far I am able to record to multiple files from a single stream using
 the MpegRecorder.  My next step is to implement this for the DVBRecorder.

 The patch set comes in three parts.

 ajm_recorder_split.patch.gz slits the recorder classes into two.  The *Mux
 classes control the hardware.  The other half have the same name as the
 original recorder classes and are responsible for writing the stream to
 the ring buffer.  This patch doesn't change the behaviour the recorder
 subsystem.  Everything should work as before.

 ajm_multiple_recorders.patch adds the ability for each *Mux recorder to
 write to multiple Recorder classes.  I have this working for MpegRecorder
 classes.  At the moment this breaks LiveTV.  You will need to apply the
 third patch to get the scheduler use this new feature.

 ajm_scheduler.patch changes the scheduler so that recordings that are on
 the same mux will be scheduled for the same recorder.
