DS.JAR (or X08) is a java tools, so you just need the java engine installed.
Additionally, there is a command line version of DS.JAR so that you even
don´t need X.
The idea behind my explanation was to tell, that on windows you can take a
cut recording (with correct PTS) and an uncut audio stream (with PTS) and that
DS.JAR is able to sync the audio streams by adjusting and cutting them
according to the PTS info in both streams.

Maybe I am a litte pessimistic, but the main problem I see is that even
expensive commercial products (at least on windows) have multiplexing problems
with MPEG streams of different encoders. I don´t know much about how
multiplexing works but AFAI can see this seems to be one of the most difficult things.
So I finally would be pleased if there was at least an easy way to demux
files without audio gaps that have been cut comfortably with VDR - demuxing could
be started with an command script. Currently, I would have set the cut
points manually in DS.JAR, or convert the VDR file to PVA and use PVACutter etc.
