Hi again

I tried vanilla VDR 1.3.20 and I still got no DD, but now my receiver
has some signal because DD light is active. Some incompatibility with
AC3 tagging perhaps? 

Is tagging right word for process? I used it cos I work a lot with
Ethernet and vlan tagging :)

I will try to solve this but my skills aren't good enough.
