I'm looking forward to how digital TV tuners will be handled, since a single tuned station typically presents a video stream, multiple audio streams and subtitles.

Currently various media players have to know how to talk to a tuner directly or we use something like tvheadend to abstract this behind http and htsp for a control API, a DVR function, and outputs for streaming.

Tuning one multiplex (24-40Mbps) may have 10 to 50 simultaneous channels so the patchbay would be useful.
