You make things sound promising again, thanks for the reply! And of course I agree with your points fully. At any rate the issue still remains and has once again seemed to be left unresolved.
A question for Oliver Endriss (if you read this).. Can you confirm that the firmware abides fully to specification?
Thanks guys.

That's only correct if you ignore specifications.
Maybe VDR is behaving according to the specified interface
and the firmware fails.
Maybe mplayer is working around firmware bugs by behaving
differently - which may or may not be according to the
specified interface.
What we can agree upon is the fact that the problem *can* be
solved within the application program.
IMHO, the fact that mplayer works where VDR does not
proves just that, but not more.
However, if VDR behaves 100% according to specification,
the problem *should* be solved in the driver and/or
firmware, because that would fix all programs that also
behave 100% according to specification and fail.
If fixing it where it should be fixed turns out to be
too difficult, it might still be a good idea to fix it
in VDR.
Carsten.
