Both trees use the same card database, so any card-related bugs will
be identical :)

There are some differences depending on Xvideo being used or not
because not everything is passed through the X-Server due to some
limits of the Xvideo attributes (no multiple choice options being
available for example ...).

There is no difference between Hauppauge and Pinnacle, they both use
the same piece of hardware (msp34xx chip) for stereo and dual language
support.  Just tried, language switching works for me (Its a bit hard
to test/debug for me as it is rarely used in germany, but right now
I'm happily watching arte in french using a Pinnacle card ...).

You have to make sure _not_ to use Xvideo through because that option
isn't available with Xvideo ...
