The short and honest answer: The DVB maintainer has no time for
MPlayer development, I have only little time and my only DVB device
(DVB-T stick) seems is broken.
So the honest truth unfortunately is that it is unlikely someone will fix it I am afraid.
While the basic idea of fixing it by changing the syntax to
use e.g.
dvb://2:3@
to mean adapter2/frontend3 is simple enough, making sure everything
still works seems quite tricky and few people have a crazy enough
setup to actually be able to test it...
If you or someone else feel up to do a bit of "simple" C programming I'd
be willing to help you getting it implemented.
