I would hope the libdvbv5 implementation was of full MPEG-TS and not
just DVB usage. However given GStreamer already has a MPEG-TS
implementation, there is less pressure to switch to using libdvbv5.

The dvbsrc code definitely needs a rewrite to bring it up to date with
the Linux API. This debate is rapidly moving us to re-implementing what
is in libdvbv5, not least because of the licencing issue.

The structs representing the packet data structures appear not, at
first sight, to reflect the data structures as per the standard. I will
investigate this further in the next few days now that I have the
tuning callbacks working.

(Though I am having some problems with "tuning-timeout" property
proxied by dvbbasebin.)
