Oh great.  Missed a spot, eh?  OK, I'll have to take a look again in a moment.

nuvexport uses the MythTV perl bindings, which is where the change was
made.  Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, we are for now.  Sometime after 0.23 is released, I hope to
change that around such that that information is in the database, but
we certainly aren't there now.

nuvexport is fairly version insensitive from 0.22 on, but not
completely.  When 0.23 is released, I'm sure the people making the
ebuilds will be grabbing the newer version of nuvexport in the
process.

Not a problem.  I'll try to go fix that bits per sample bogon...
