How do I tell? I recompiled procpc-3.11, which shows all threads, but 
what information do you need to know which thread really uses the CPU?

When viewing LiveTV the cpu load is at 15-25%, with mplayer it reaches 100%.

Since the mplayer-sound is sent to the amp through the digital out of my 
dvb-card I asumed this is handled by AC3overDVB as well?
