Something I would like to have is when I press OK to get current channel
info, and it is an audio channel, the channel name should be spoken by
a synthesizer (mbrola). I don't want to power on the TV for that, and I don't have
an LCD display.

I believe I could add some code here in vdr.c:

             // Viewing Control:
             case kOk:   LastChannel = -1;
		/* if (IsAudioChannel) system("speak " + channelname);  something like this */
		break; // forces channel display

Is there another way that avoids modifying the vdr source code?
