I upgraded my MythTV hardware (from old PIII/800 to C2D/1.8GHz) but due
to the relatively new hardware (Intel G33 chipset) I need to run a
recent kernel which comes with the 1.0.x ivtv driver. At first glance
recording seems to work just fine but playback doesn't because Myth
calls an old ivtv iocl().

I'm using the myth debian-etch packages from backports.debian.org, but
I also checked the svn trunk and the old ioctl() is still there
(haven't run it, just read the source).

Is there already somebody working on this or should I give it a try?
