Thank you! I've tried these kind of hacks myself, but because of 
"ultimate" coding skills, couldn't produce anything useful...

Too bad, that this is not waf solution yet...
I guess, that I'll have to increase the level of the "dirty tricks" and 
compile couple of vdr instances (one with the delay and one without) and 
create a command for switching between the instances :D

...hanu

p.s. My 3rd eHD card could be available for testing purposes in Helsinki 
metropolitan area ...
