Don't know if there will be an Xv layer on top of it all, but what will eventually be there is YUV playback (just as you can bypass the encoder to get YUV from /dev/video32 the firmware has the option to bypass the decoder and display YUV data) so you can decode in software and display the decoded video via the 350's TV out. So essentially that's an Xv equivalent. It's not in the driver yet and I won't hold my breath. It will be sometime after the 0.2. version. Mind, I'm not an ivtv developer myself. Arvi from the MPlayer team has already announced an mplayer patch to support the 350 when this feature is in the driver.<BR>

IIUC the ivtv driver is made for absolutely undocumented hardware (from what I heard it's not Hauppauge that's to blame but Conexant. IIRC Hauppauge donated a PVR350 the the project, there's rumours about a driver version that had debugging in it :-) ) <BR>
