Bugzilla Bug 230820

I've been trying for a long time to get my Hauppauge HVR-1600 working nicely
with mplayer. Using mplayer tv:// never worked because of the buffering it did.
I found that the only way to get TV playing working was to use mplayer pvr://,
but mplayer was not compiled with PVR support, and the ebuild does not expose
that option.
With regards to PVR support, the ebuild say "broken upstream, won't work with
recent kernels". I don't really know what "recent kernels" means, nor do I know
when this was fixed in mplayer. I am using sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r8
with media-tv/v4l-dvb-hg-0.1-r2 revision
87aa6048e718684748325c8e5290837e8f5593d9 (for HVR-1600 support), and
media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p26753-r1.
I edited the ebuild to include a pvr useflag, and to not force-disable PVR
support. mplayer compiles fine and watching TV with mplayer pvr:// works as
well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="pvr" emerge mplayer
Actual Results:  
mplayer is installed without PVR support.

Expected Results:  
mplayer is installed with PVR support.
