That code has become obsolete in the meantime, since now the driver by
itself allows error free recording and playback. I wrote that code at
a time when the theory was that the application would have to do additional
work on the data stream to make this work. Fortunately that is no longer
necessary now :-)

If that "Packet resequencer" is of any use for other applications, feel
free to use it in any way. VDR won't use it any more.
