Hm, no, it still tunes all over the map. It just tunes to whatever was
last successfully tuned, totally ignoring any kind of frequency. Something
like this (with a random amount of 0:s) should IMHO work to tune to
538MHz:

	% vlc dvb:frequency=538000000:fec=2

But it tunes to 714Mhz which was what I had tuned to using dvbstream a
while ago. Giving fec=9 or anything else makes no difference.

Is there any reason why the tuning code from tzap, czap and szap is not
silently lifted into VLC to do the tuning and have VLC use a normal
channels.conf?
