I'll try to come up with an interface that allows for better isolating such extensions
from the core VDR stuff.
However, I believe it is sufficient if these are activated at compile time through
options like DVD=1 etc.
I must admit, though, that these things don't have too high priority for myself (except
for the DVD replay), so I might not spend too much time on them... My focus is on the
core functionality of VDR, and that's recording and replaying video.
