I have enabled Dolby Audio, but I don't think the channels I'm experiencing
problems with are broadcast in Dolby Digital. It there any way of telling? I
had trouble playing dvd's (audio was like darth vader :) before I enabled
dolby in xine. I'll try to disable it tonight and see if it makes any
difference.

On these channels audio (and eventually picture) breaks up when I bring up
the OSD while using the xine-plugin. It usually recovers after some time (15
secs or so), but I had crashes too while tuned to these channels.

These are mostly broken (while using xine-plugin):
SVT1:306000:C0M64:C:6875:4102:4358=sve;4614=sve:7942:B00,500:1022:40999:40:0
SVT2:306000:C0M64:C:6875:4103:4359=sve;4615=sve:7943:B00,500:1048:40999:40:0

These are examples of channels that work fine:
CANAL+:338000:C0M64:C:6875:4097:4353=eng:7937:1:1023:40999:32:0
C MORE FILM:338000:C0M64:C:6875:4105:4361=sve:7945:B00,500:1080:40999:32:0
C+SPORT:338000:C0M64:C:6875:4104:4360=sve:7944:1:1047:40999:32:0

Thank you for your great plugin, patience and kindness,

Stefan

Hi,

I assume, these channels provide dolby audio and you have enabled dolby
audio 
in my plugin's settings. Am I correct?

Currently, VDR splits large PES packets into smaller ones of size 2048
bytes. 
But xine can't handle these "continuation" packets. So I try my best to 
reassemble these packets to the original large packets.

BTW: large PES packets which contain A52 audio data are only handled
correctly 
by xine-lib-CVS, rc4a doesn't contain the necessary patches.

A FIXME indicates, that a part is missing for the assembly to create a large

packet. Usually, there are no more than 4 FIXME's in a sequence, after which

the assembly should get a new start packet to go on with.

A future solution might be, that VDR breaks the large packets at A52 frame 
bounderies. Therefore, packet assembly would no longer be necessary. Dr. 
Werner Fink would like a similar solution for stereo audio too, which would 
avoid some cracks in audio at cutting positions.

Bye.
