Ok I just got the new kaffeine working for direct dvb (i.e. without
xvdr://) with both the dvb-s2 and dvb-t tuners by invoking
hal-device --add for each dvb device node like below.  (well,
ignoring audio issues on dvb-s2 h264 channels but those can't have
anything to do with hal...)

 So it seems you can take the udi name that hal uses for the device
(or is that always 'usb_device_<id>_<id>_noserial'?), add a string
to it like '_dvb_<incremented>', use that as arg to 'hal-device --add',
and then give that process mostly static info like mine on stdin
where only dvb.device (the device node) and info.parent (the original
udi name) vary:  (Linux also adds linux.device_file, linux.hotplug_type,
linux.subsystem, and linux.sysfs_path as you can see in my Linux
lshal output earlier in this thread,

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2010-August/011203.html

but it seems at least kaffeine doesn't need those.)
