I have implemented a VDR extension that allows you to select
an MP3 play list via the OSD and play it back via the DVB-S
sound outputs.

It's not perfect yet. In particular it has these 3 "features":

1) It is a perfect test case for the driver bug (ARM reset
   loop) that I described in
    http://linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/msg03203.html

   After you played an MP3 play list using my VDR extension,
   as soon as you switch to a different channel, the driver
   goes into the ARM reset loop. 
   You have to reload it to fix that.

2) It plays the list song by song until the end of the
   list or you stop the playback.
   There are no fancy features such as skipping a song,
   etc. yet.

3) I made the modification to VDR 0.71. I have not ported
   it to VDR 0.72 yet.

Klaus wants to integrate this into an official vdr release
in the future. I hope to have time to look into the above 
three items before that.

Carsten.
