Maybe the driver can't replay while it is switching the transponder (at least
I couldn't see where such a problem would exist in VDR itself). I also observe
a small glitch in replaying if the transponder on theprimary card is switched,
but I don't this it would justify actually pausing replay - that would be an
even bigger interrupt.

Take a look at cRecordControls::PauseLiveVideo() (in menu.c) and try
different values in the two sleep() calls. Maybe there is just not enough
data available yet when the replay is started.
