Hi Klaus,

This was just an idea. In mixed setups (eg. 2 FF and one budget card) the
budget card initialise as third card. If we record only FTA there is no
difference, but if we use a ca-interface, the best place to connect it is
the second card. And so will the first recording block the card with the
ca-interface (if there is no live view via transfer mode from the second
card at the moment). I think this needs only reversed card checking (high
device num -> low instead low -> high), and it is a little bit more
transparent to the user.
