[pvrusb2] // 0 byte mpegs //

[Julian Oliver]

hi list,

for various reasons i've had to install the pvrusb2 on a second machine.
now if i 'cat /dev/video0 > out.mpeg' the mpeg is 0 bytes. if i simply
play from the device directly with 'mplayer /dev/video0' mplayer happily
sits there playing nothing. i've tried with 'television' and 's-video'
as input with 'v4lctl list' confirming these. 

xawtv also fails with a more interesting error, coming up in a prompt:

		station "0" not found
		mpeg: select: timeout (3 sec)

i'm using kernel 2.6.16 on a Pentium M. here's the output of lsmod |
grep pvrusb2:

		pvrusb2               116120  0

here's relevant syslog output showing that all looks fine:
