cd MPlayer-0.90  # I compiled mplayer here, no cleanup after compilation 

I cannot find those from config.mak

find . -type f |xargs grep -i dvb-head      
nothing
find . -type f |xargs grep -i DVBIN
nothing


I use new drivers, because I couldn't compile or insmod old ones!

I guess I should get a new Mplayer from CVS.  


I have a more serious problem: After few seconds video freezes and
sound stops.  'dvbtune -f 658000000' (without stopping mplayer) gives
seconds or two more video. This is not an Mplayer problem. (Video
stream from dvbstream stops.)  Broken DVB card seems most likely
explanation.  Does anyone else have similar problem?

After testing this several times I have a dvbstream process which
don't die with 'kill -9' and and similar 'rmmod dvb-ttpci'
process. Both use all available cpu time:(
