Okay, I see what you are saying now, and I can do that.  The override
would be per host AND card-type.  So when you create a new profile-group,
you will specify which type of profile it is (Software, MPEG2, MJPEG),
and which host to use it on.
The only thing you can't do is have two bttv cards in the same computer
and have different settings for each one, and I agree, that isn't likely
to come up often.
