Hey great... the reply-to-header is there :-)   Now if that would happen to the linux-dvb-mailinlist also we would all be happy...

I will try that after my current recording has finished.. I'm quite interested in what happens when switching the primary while a replay is running :-)
BTW... since the API-change, there is a little bug in selecting the primary interface. I have two cards and the setup-menu let me select between 1 and 4. The correct 
value for the second card is 3. I believe it's because now there are no more audio- and video-, but just interfaces and numbers 2 and 4 are audio?

I'll let you know what happened. Fortunately I have both cards connected to my AV-Receiver (it's always good to buy hardware with more connectors than you actually 
need :-)
