You don't have to be sorry: without the plugin I wouldn't have such 
problems but I couldn't use vdr, so... ;-)

Yes, there are, 12 P followed by Clear (but at least once, in a later 
test run, no 'P's and no 'Clear' when xine froze). Note that the 'P's 
start appearing a short while after the freeze.

This happens on a 1Ghz celeron, vdr 1.3.11 using streamdev client with 
your patches applied (if that may be relevant).
