Yes, i'm afraid so... :-)
In 'normal' VDR operation (watching TV or replay recordings) those audio
(and video) disturbances aren't really a problem to me, so here I'd prefer a
fast OSD display. But while listening MP3 music, I'd prefer a slower OSD to
browse my MP3 archive to keep the currently playing song undisturbed.

Oh, what a pity - but interesting nevertheless!
Did you do the tests with audio AND video playback at the same time? Maybe,
the disturbances occure less often if no video is displayed.
