Hi,
I can see you (Martin) know much more about v4l and MPlayer than me.
I have another more problem.
All compilations (including mplayer) using v4l interface (appart xawtv) 
crashes with last (2.4.20) v4l headers with theese messages:

In file included from /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h:16,
                  from /usr/include/linux/videodev.h:14,
                  from tvi_v4l2.c:32:

I do not know why - time.h is just a part of same kernel source as 
(patched) videdev.h and videdev2.h.
Of course I tried your patch too.

MPlayer was one app which was able to capture video with my card (xawtv 
has limitation to 2 GB and does not support divx compression).
New v4l2 with xawtv works better than old, I would like take this profit.

I use FlyVideo3000 with saa7134 chip.
v4l2-20030207 snapshot and saa7134-0.2.5 driver.
Glibc-2.3.1 and gcc-3.2.2 (same results with regular bytesex v4l2 patch 
and gcc-3.2.1+glibc-2.3.1 and gcc-2.95+glibc-2.2).
Watching video4linux-list at redhat.com I met a few raports but no solution.
