Okay, this sounds like an interesting idea. So the ability to switch
between those "groups" with a remote control is a key point? (hmm, and
then the numbering would likely have to be on a per-group basis, so
that you can have a channel "1" in group A and a different channel "1"
in group B?)

Agreed, coordination is needed. And yes, I do think that making
Kaffeine more rc-friendly is a worthwhile and achievable goal ... So
if you're interested, you should try kaffeine 1.0-pre1 - you will for
example recognise that the dvb category feature is missing there, so
it could be a starting point ... ;-)
