[vdr] logging change wish

[Uwe Freese <mail@uwe-freese.de>]

Hello,

In /var/log/messages, vdr logs channel switches and timer start/stops.

Because of I use skripts to parse the /var/log/messages and get data out
of  it,  I  wanted  to have the information on WHICH card the channel is
switched, timer started or stopped.

My patch for VDR 1.00-pre3:

- shows on which card the channel was switched
- shows on which card and which channel a timer stopped

If  you don't have a reason for not changing this, I'd like to see it in
the  next  versions  of  vdr.  (So  I  doesn't need to patch every new
version.)
I  didn't  find  where  to change the source for showing on which card a
recording  starts.  ("timer  xx  start"  message) It sould also be added
then.
I  don't  know if there are other messages relating to one special card,
they should also changed so that the card number is logged.
