As of version 1.7.12 VDR records the PCR pid if it is different
than the video PID. For lack of better knowledge I made cDevice::PlayTs()
send the PCR packets to PlayTsVideo(). The FF cards don't have a problem
with that, but maybe xine or the cVideoRepacker does.
Maybe VDR shouldn't even "replay" the PCR data - please advise.
