When recording on the primary device, VDR starts the receiving process in
"non-live" mode and displays the current channel (if it is the one that
is currently being recorded) in "Transfer Mode". It does this so that the
live channel can be any of the channels that are available on the current
transponder.

If an mp3 plugin wants to replay a sound file, but wants to have "live"
video, that video can only be the one from a channel that is currently not
being recorded (otherwise a Transfer Mode process would be occupying the
output device).
