I can only speak for the 2001-05-25 driver version, since the latest version
doesn't run very stable here. In the 2001-05-25 driver I haven't observed any a/v sync problems
so far. The main problem I'm having currently (with both 2001-05-25 and the latest
version) is that when replaying the sound suddenly gets completely lost and only
comes back after stop/restart. The recorded data appears to be fine.

If there is anything I could do in VDR to rearrange the video/audio packets
in order to avoid this, I'd be glad to do so. However, since I'm neither sure
if this would help at all, nor know exactly how to do that, I would appreciate
any comments/ideas anybody might have...

Regarding the OSD: with the reduced number of lines (13 instead of 15) it works
fine here. I'll rearrange the menus accordingly, so we'll have the same amount of
information than before (there were two empty lines, which made for better looking,
but I guess we can drop them in order to cope with the replay mode's increased
memory requirements).
