To solve this problem I'd like to get 30 seconds of a recording
with DD2.0 from that channel.  But ensure that there is _really_
a DD2.0 audio stream included.  A few days before I've got two
examples from an other user without any DD2.0 audio stream therein.
And it is clear that a not existing DD audio stream can not
replayed :^))

Hmm ... IMHO the transfer mode used by VDR 1.3.20 is not Live but simply
a few seconds behind the time at which the data was received.  In other
words it is just like replaying from the memory ringbuffer which is
refilled Live :^)

Btw: Even Live is not Live on a DVB-s, this because to/from satellite
takes time and the decoder also reqires a few tenth of a second.
