I see. The documentation somehow made me think I needed both... Adding
the above paragraph from your answer to the README might be helpful.

Sure. Answers:

I use VDR 1.2.6. VDR keeps going fine (OSD etc.), but picture/sound is
lost and cannot be recovered until I reboot (I have dvb-kernel compiled
statically into the kernel as this is a box supposed to be used exclusively
as a VDR).

I have not checked the most recent version of dvb-kernel with 2.6.0. My
previous version was from CVS about 1-2 weeks ago. There are no suspicious
messages in /var/log/messages.

I'd be happy to help in this issue is someone tells me what to do/where to
look.

Lars
