[Live-devel] Patch for wis-streamer

[Ross Finlayson]

Thanks.  I will add this to the released code shortly.

>I suppose it is equally possible to patch the driver

Actually, patching the driver would be better, because it would 
prevent other applications from running into the same problem.  If 
you can generate an equivalent patch for the driver code, then please 
send it to me, and I'll see that it gets added to WIS (now called 
Micronas)'s released driver code.  (I'm in close contact with these 
folks.)
