[media] dvb: Add DVBv5 statistics properties

2013-01-23T21:06:33+00:00

The DVBv3 statistics parameters are limited on several ways:
        - It doesn't provide any way to indicate the used measure,
	  so userspace need to guess how to calculate/use it;
        - Only a limited set of stats are supported;
        - Can't be called in a way to require them to be filled
          all at once (atomic reads from the hardware), with may
          cause troubles on interpreting them on userspace;
        - On some OFDM delivery systems, the carriers can be
          independently modulated, having different properties.
          Currently, there's no way to report per-layer stats.
To address the above issues, adding a new DVBv5-based stats API.
While here, correct inner code nomenclature on a few places.

[media] DocBook/Makefile: Remove osd.h header

2011-07-27T20:52:58+00:00

The av7110 uses an OSD API. Such API is not documented at all. Also,
the osd.h API uses camelCase and some other weird stuff. Also, dvb-core
doesn't recognize it.

I don't see any good reason why we should document it. It seems better
to just let it as-is. If ever needed, it is probably better to write
a different API for dvb-core.

[media] DocBook: Move all media docbook stuff into its own directory

2011-07-27T20:52:05+00:00

This patch addresses several issues pointed by Randy Dunlap
 at changeset ece722c:

- In the generated index.html file, "media" is listed first, but it
  should be listed in alphabetical order, not first.

- The generated files are (hidden) in .tmpmedia/

- The link from the top-level index.html file to "media" is to
  media/index.html, but the file is actually in .tmpmedia/media/index.html

- Please build docs with and without using "O=builddir" and test that.

- Would it be possible for media to have its own Makefile instead of
  merging into this one?

Due to the way cleandocs target works, I had to rename the media DocBook
to media_api, otherwise cleandocs would remove the /media directory.
