Report DVB Manager Week 10

As mentioned in last week's report, I concentrated on an assistant to 
setup DVB cards and a preferences GUI to create new device groups and 
edit existing ones. Currently, there are three GUI applications. One to 
manage timers, one to manage devices and one to setup your cards. In the 
next couple of weeks I'm going to make those UIs nicer and merge all of 
them in one single application.

The wizard works for DVB-T and DVB-S. DVB-C support is coming soon.
In addition, I did some refactoring which resulted in renamed, removed 
and new methods and fixed some bugs I came across. Both UIs require a 
patch that isn't committed to GStreamer CVS, yet, because a freeze is in 
progress.

In the future I would like to support drag & drop in preferences that 
you can just drag an unregistered device onto the group you want it to 
be part of or just move one device from one group to another. The setup 
assistant should create groups of devices, too. Either according to the 
user's wishes or automatically (e.g. grouping all DVB-T devices together).

Nothing new regarding EPG. I still have that bug that causes GStreamer 
to segfault when scanning one particular channel. It seems to be related 
to Ubuntu hardy, because it works with Fedora 9. I'm going to try Ubuntu 
intripid, maybe I have more luck there.

I'm going to make a tarball release when the gst-plugins-bad freeze is 
over and my patch has been committed. In the meantime I polish the UIs.
