The v4l2 API documentation for VIDIOC_ENUMSTD says:

	To enumerate all standards applications shall begin at index
	zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns EINVAL.

The actual code, however, tests the index this way:

               if (index<=0 || index >= vfd->tvnormsize) {
                        ret=-EINVAL;

So any application which passes in index=0 gets EINVAL right off the bat
- and, in fact, this is what happens to mplayer.  So I think the
following patch is called for, and maybe even appropriate for a 2.6.18.x
stable release.
