I don't get it. Can't you leave the live pid filters as they are and 
just add the pid's to be recorded as DMX_PES_OTHER filters? You the 
could still change the live pid filters without having to touch the 
recording filter.

sure, but you could add an additional filter for the same pid as 
DMX_PES_OTHER, or can't you?

Nevertheless, i can see that doing transfer whenever possible is a good 
thing when you want to build a live-stop function on top.
