# The cannels.conf ca field can be used to bind a channel to a specific
# device. The streamdev-client does not consider this information, so
# there's no way to keep VDR from using streamdev for a specific
# channel. Apply this patch if you need this feature.
#
# This fix should probably become part of streamdev. However as it
# changes the behaviour of streamdev, I decided to keep it as a separate
# patch until there is something like a new official streamdev release.
