[dvblast-devel] tiny bug on platform where char is unsigned

Sure, hehe. But I'm already using console in utf8  mode, so should be
ok. Another way is to expand "signed char c;" to simple "int c;"
what skips any casting at all.

We are using a bit specific chip from SMSC - net9131. What is so
called "multimedia co-processor" with integrated ARM926 core.

Unfortunatelly I don't have any benchmarks yet. I'm going to make
some in few days. I'm specially curious about testing it with big dvb-s2
stream :)

Anyway I must say that dvblast have surprised me. After some testing
I must say it looks very stable and mature. Even in version 1.0. Great job.
