#2882: Poll CAM module at consistent intervals
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  david at hardeman.nu  |       Owner:  danielk
     Type:  enhancement        |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  minor              |   Milestone:  0.21   
Component:  dvb                |     Version:  head   
 Severity:  low                |  
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 Currently the DVB CAM code polls the CAM module with a more or less random
 frequency. A test run with some debugging output gives:

 poll interval 3ms
 poll interval 22ms
 poll interval 24ms
 poll interval 26ms
 poll interval 27ms
 poll interval 28ms
 poll interval 29ms
 poll interval 30ms
 poll interval 31ms
 poll interval 32ms
 poll interval 34ms
 poll interval 44ms
 poll interval 54ms
 poll interval 64ms
 poll interval 74ms
 poll interval 91ms
 poll interval 101ms
 poll interval 4ms

 The attached patch changes the polling to only go off at a prespecified
 interval (100ms, which corresponds with the standard), thus reducing the
 stress on the CAM module (which improves stability for me at least).
 Debugging output with patch applied:

 poll interval 100ms
 poll interval 100ms
 poll interval 100ms
 poll interval 100ms
 poll interval 101ms
 poll interval 100ms
 poll interval 100ms

 This is against the 0.20-fixes branch but should be trivial to apply to
 trunk.
