Think that's to easy - i have an P-2-450 and a lot of glitches - does it just
work with P-1's or what? PCI-Bus-Clock related?

(BTW, i've finally managed increasing the buffer size in dvb.h - silly me:
i forget to make insmod with outstream=AV_PES, that leads to buffer-fulls too
with vdr)
For the first time, it seems to be much better now - got no glitches
despite high CPU & disk load at once, but i need more tests with a hot card too.

Another thing: even with the "small" 256k buffers i could not produce any
record-buffer-fulls recording with "cat /dev/video > test.pav".
(But a replay-buffer empty during replaying ;-))
Does that mean, it's a problem of vdr alone?
