Sorry Klaus, sorry Oliver, but i vote *against* this patch!
It's ok for the upcoming developer-version, but _not_ for the *stable*
version.

Reasons:

1. Using this patch i'm unable to cut MPEG-1 material (like vdr-analogTV
   recordings) - the first still image never changes while hitting
   [4] or [6] several times.

2. I have an impression that a/v sync is gone after viewing a still image
   in the cutting process (using MPEG-2 material).
