The reason i mentioned the dvbplayer.c thread, is that this problem  
was mitigated by using different code to feed the softdevice mpeg2  
decoder; using softplay to playback recordings provided dropout free  
playback. I'm not sure if softplay works with FF cards, but you might  
get the source at softdevice.berlios.de to give it a try.
