I see that you already started working on supporting the new API, that's
great.

I don't own any multi-frontend device myself, so it's hard for me to
judge what the problem is. Currently, gstreamer's dvbsrc only supports
specifying the number of the adapter and frontend to use. You are saying
that additional information is required to support multi-frontend devices?
