kaffeine 1.x vs. 2.x

While i welcome the recent resurrection of kaffeine development,
2.x just isn't yet on par with 1.x

Kaffeine 1.x
- is more responsive
- has reliable dvb-t streams

Kaffeine 2.x
- takes a long time to switch channels
- sometimes it needs several attemps to switch channels
- lost video and/or audio streams
- higher cpu load

at least with my rtl2832 dvb-t stick

If you feel like me, here is a PKGBUILD for kaffeine 1.4 from git

That escalated quickly.
