VDR handles "correct" data streams and delivers them "correctly".
I wouldn't want to have all the extra overhead of buffering audio and video
separately just to generate a then basicly "incorrect" data stream.
Besides, that still wouldn't work with live video, would it?
I guess if you need an additional delay in the audio signal, your audio
equipment would be the place where this should be introduced.
