[pvrusb2] It's alive! or Findings so far

[Per Christian Henden]

Hi, 

Yay! It's working!

Hehe, it required some tweaking. 

I had the following problem: 
When I used mplayer, I got a bad picture. 
The color and placement of parts of the picture was completely wrong. 
When I used xawtv I didn't get a picture. 
My solution: start xawtv before mplayer, that makes the picture right
and then unmute the sound using the sysfs interface.

Mplayer+alsa gave me some shit too, but that't not related to the pvrusb2 
driver. 
For people running Mac Mini, check out http://www.pvv.org/~perchrh/macmini/, 
you need alsa-lib version 1.0.9rc3 or later. 
Those versions doesn't work well with mplayer, it seems. 
I get "alsa-space: xrun of at least ..." error with mplayer-cvs from today and 
the latest stable plus an assortment of cvs versions from in-between latest 
stable and latest from cvs. 
Solution was to use artsd. Arts version 1.4.0 works well with my alsa driver 
and with mplayer.

Cheers,
