well, i was just telling Mauro off-list that I was interested in getting 
into V4L/DVB, but I don't have hardware to test.  so if there's a sample 
somewhere that can be mailed out, I'm game, else I'll have to take on 
one of the "non-hardware" projects in V4L.  also, I'm a kernel noob, so 
if you don't think I can do it as a first project, I might have to pass 
(but I'm a quick study, so I might be able to handle it - it'll be slow 
though - not cause I don't have the time, but because I'll be learning 
the whole way)
