678Name 	CX2341X_ENC_MISC
679Enum 	220/0xDC
680Description
681	Miscellaneous actions. Not known for 100% what it does. It's really a
682	sort of ioctl call. The first parameter is a command number, the second
683	the value.
684Param[0]
685	Command number:
686	 1=set initial SCR value when starting encoding (works).
687	 2=set quality mode (apparently some test setting).
688	 3=setup advanced VIM protection handling.
689	   Always 1 for the cx23416 and 0 for cx23415.
690	 4=generate DVD compatible PTS timestamps
691	 5=USB flush mode
692	 6=something to do with the quantization matrix
693	 7=set navigation pack insertion for DVD: adds 0xbf (private stream 2)
694	   packets to the MPEG. The size of these packets is 2048 bytes (including
695	   the header of 6 bytes: 0x000001bf + length). The payload is zeroed and
696	   it is up to the application to fill them in. These packets are apparently
697	   inserted every four frames.
698	 8=enable scene change detection (seems to be a failure)
699	 9=set history parameters of the video input module
700	10=set input field order of VIM
701	11=set quantization matrix
702	12=reset audio interface after channel change or input switch (has no argument).
703	   Needed for the cx2584x, not needed for the mspx4xx, but it doesn't seem to
704	   do any harm calling it regardless.
705	13=set audio volume delay
706	14=set audio delay
707
708Param[1]
709	Command value.
