I'll see what I can do but don't be surprised if you see a module 
parameter "VDR" in the future which will change the firmware memory
config.

That could be the problem.
If it is, this will also be resolved by the move of the trickmode
switching in the firmware which also involves the sync control.
But it is better if you still only send video packets.
