I have tested driver version 2001-11-03 over the weekend and apparently this
one can switch channels without any problems again. However, my 'play_iframe'
patch doesn't work any more now :-(

So before I can recommmend this driver version for use with VDR I'll need to
find out why VDR's I-frames can't be played with play_iframe().
Any hints in that direction would be greatly appreciated...
