Take a look at VDR/dvbosd.c:

      #define FW_NEEDS_BUFFER_RESERVE_FOR_AC3
      #ifdef FW_NEEDS_BUFFER_RESERVE_FOR_AC3
      //XXX This is a very ugly hack to allow cDvbOsd to reduce the buffer
      //XXX requirements in cTransfer if it detects a 4MB full featured DVB card.
      extern bool DvbCardWith4MBofSDRAM;
      DvbCardWith4MBofSDRAM = osdMem >= 1000000;
