Hi Claudio,

I did a litle investigation about patching for multiproto. I dont know 
if you have this information, but it is all listed in dvb wiki page:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Multiproto#How_to_patch_an_application_for_Multiproto

You could look at there and in a getstream application which has built 
in dvb support for both api. If you need some tester or some help (but 
not very good c coder) for your existing code I have KNC 1 DVB-S2 card, 
so just tell me and I will do what you need.

Thanks for sharing your info with me!
