So, the ALSA driver (snd-bt87x) needs to use functions from the V4L driver (bttv). As it is now, the two drivers are completely separate and don't share any code and can be loaded individually.
The DVB driver in the same tree as bttv, so this isn't a problem. But the snd-bt87x is in another tree, so it's somewhat harder, and I'm not sure what to do about it.
The part of the ALSA API used by snd-bt87x is apparently more stable than the bttv functions to be used, so this seems to be a good opportunity to move snd-bt87x into the V4L tree.
What do you say about this Mauro? From my perspective, it would be much easier if all the bt848 drivers were in the same tree.
_From my side, this makes sense.
