Workaround against "/dev/videoX-swapping" for my tv-tuner

Here how to fight with "/dev/videoX-swapping" when you have more then one video device as I do. I use tv-tuner "Beholder M6 Extra".
Just create start script for you video application like this:

#!/bin/bash
VIDEONAME='video (Beholder'
AUDIONAME='saa7134'
VIDEODEVICE=/dev/`find /sys/devices -name name -exec grep "$VIDEONAME" {} + | awk -F\/ '{print $(NF-1)}'`
AUDIODEVICE=hw.`cat /proc/asound/modules | grep $AUDIONAME | awk -F\ '{print $(NF-1)}'`,0
cd /media/TEMP2
mplayer -vf screenshot -vo xv tv:// -tv device=$VIDEODEVICE:driver=v4l2:buffersize=1024:chanlist=russia:normid=17:outfmt=yv12:channels=1-Первый,2-НТВ:chanlist=russia:fps=25:width=640:height=480:alsa:adevice=$AUDIODEVICE:volume=30:amode=1:audiorate=32000:forceaudio:immediatemode=0:tdevice=/dev/vbi0:tformat=3:tlang=33 -font "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Impact.ttf" -delay 0.2 -framedrop -ontop 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null

Also you can see how to make good tv application with mplayer and Kuzkina Mat'. If you have better decisions - just show me them.
