The primary dvb device will be blocked even if you reroutes the
output to your sound card. This is due to the internal handling
of vdr and I think it will involve major work to change this.

I'm not working on this topic and I think it will be best to wait
until the plugin interface is finished. From Klaus comments I
would guess that this will make such a task much easier.

There is a random song mode. Go to the browse menu and select
"Play all".
