Does this mean that it would be best if VDR stored the data as "TS"?

Didn't you say in an earlier message that it is not possible to get
the "original" TS from the Siemens card?

Will the TS delivered by the driver be free of the video and audio
glitches we see when replaying a recording made in the default PES
format of the 0.8.2 driver? In that case I could drop the implementation
of a remultiplexer in VDR.

Can the NAPI deliver and replay video and audio in _one_ TS (not
separate video and audio streams)? This would make it easier for VDR.

And finally: is "TS" that which is generally referred to as MPEG2?
Apparently there is some irritation amoung the various tools that
process MPEG2 files (from what I've heard not all tools are able to
process the files recorded with VDR). So would storing the files
in TS format solve this problem? In that case it might make sense
to change the name of those files from "001.vdr" to "001.mpg".
