The solution is really quite simple: Every DVB-card has some associated
entries in /dev, I think the script that comes with the drivers creates
entries for three cards (0 through 2), there are also some symbolic links
(without numbers) that usually point to the /dev-entries ending on "0"
(zero).

You will need to change those so they point to the device nodes of the DVB
card you want mplayer to use.

So, this "problem" is an issue of mplayer alone, not of VDR and not of the
patch. There might be an option to point mplayer to the desired device
nodes, but if there is I was unable to find it in the mplayer docs (which
are in places a bit messy.)
