The APIs described here are kept only for historical reasons. There's
just one driver for a very legacy hardware that uses this API. No modern
drivers should use it. Instead, audio and video should be using the V4L2
and ALSA APIs, and the pipelines should be set using the Media
Controller API
The APIs described here **should not** be used on new drivers or applications.
.. note::
The DVBv3 frontend API has issues with new delivery systems, including
DVB-S2, DVB-T2, ISDB, etc.
