I just tried 0.3.3-pre2 with vdr-1.3.12 and the latest 2.6.8 release kernel
(with current cvs dvb-kernel). Everything looks very good with the new
version of streamdev on my local lan (100baseT).  I have not noticed any
choppy video.  I also noticed that you fixed the problem where vdr would
crash if I turned off the streamdev server. Good Job.  Thanks for the great
plugin.
