Hi Werner, I installed and tried 0.61f last night, and it seems a little
bit better as far as AV delays. At least I don't see the ~300 ms delays any
more. 0.61f is now at about ~50 - ~100, so that lip synchronizity is quite
good. However I still get frequent dropouts after 15-20 minutes of
watching. When re-starting the plugin by switching channels back and forth,
it is okay again but the dropouts start again after 15-20 minutes. Any idea
what this could be?

Anybody an idea as far as these crashes? Again, this is vdr-1.2.6-Elchi04
with mp3-0.97 switched to OSS out.  I'll give it a try again today with DVB
out and Werner's patch but I suspect it still doesn't work right. More to
follow.
