For a reason not to go in details too much here, I would like to make vdr recognise sparse DVB adapter numbers.

But vdr uses only the first two devices.
Is there any easy possibility to patch the code accordingly?
./vdr -D 0 -D 1 -D 5 -D 6 -D 7
I'm afraid this won't work, because VDR stops scaning for DVB devices as soon as it hits a gap.
Good i didn't know that years ago when setting up my vdr boxes... :) IOW this approach has been working for me for quite a while w/o any problems. Note i'm still at 1.4.x and my 'gaps' actually contain adapters (unused by this vdr instance). If the gaps really are a problem you could always renumber the adapters using udev rules such as
SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", KERNELS=="0000:00:0e.0", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter%%i/%%s 0 $${K#*.}'", NAME:="%c" SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", KERNELS=="0000:02:09.0", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter%%i/%%s 1 $${K#*.}'", NAME:="%c"
etc
