I did a test with Suse 9.0 default kernel 2.4.21-192-default. So I no longer
get those ffmpeg error messages. Picture comes up instantly and there
are no delays on channel switches. So these problems are either kernel or
dvb driver related (my other enviroment is kernel 2.4.27-pre5 with
linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1 drivers).
