[vdr] DXR3 crash fixed

[Rantanen Teemu <teemu.rantanen@tekla.com>]

After some time alone with DXR3 plugin and debugger I found out that certain
errors in audio stream will crash the DXR3 plugin every time. The actual
reason for the crash is (looks like) an unchecked failure code inside ffmpeg
libavcodec mpeg audio decoder, that gets back into the plugin in a way the
plugin cannot handle, and will make it crash shortly after when the value is
being used.

 

This patch does not try to recover the stream intelligently after the error,
so cracks and pops that may be heard for a short period of time (but that's
what you received anyway).

 

The diff can be downloaded from the following address, where it will remain
for a few days:

I still have problems with occasional VDR hang-ups when menus (OSDs) are
used, but one step closer now to perfection... (perhaps :-)

 

And please send your (non-)success -stories to the list...
