There was talk of this some time ago, though I don't think anything solid came of it. I personally am not interested in it unless ram came be used for the buffer storage. Having a harddrive (or even worse, an ssd) in a constant write state 24/7 is not something I'd like to do. Whatever the case, I think you'll be stuck with the patch for a while.
I have set my livebuffer to use 2gb memory (hdd). If i would have 4gb ram (now i have just 1gb), then i would use a 2gb ramdisk for livebuffer, and the rest for my system. This would be more than enough.. :-) But having a patch working for vdr is ok too :-)
RAM is cheap enough now days that having plenty of it isn't a problem for most people. For example, 4GB will cost you less than a few hours at the pub with friends. :)
