After having a look on the code of GetDevice() in device.c, I think the
problem is there. I have rewritten it and it now selects a card with
following priorities:

1. receiving and allowing additional receivers
2. free and fewer Ca values
3. free
4. receiving and lower priority
5. receiving and equal priority but fewer Ca values

The first card with the highest priority (1 = high, 5 = low) is selected
for recording. With this the problems I saw have disappeared.
