I'm surely going to test that tomorrow, but I'd like to make a little 
suggestion for that:

Why don't you make the analog source available with a cDevice derivation? This 
would make it possible to have a VDR working with an analog+dxr3 card like a 
normal VDR, for example. Also it would be possible to record and cut the data 
with the native VDR interface. Additional channels could be provided via 
channels.conf with a device providing a special source.

Many possibilities ;)
