I do know now ;-)
but i dont think it will be a major change.
i am thinking about an easy solution.
maybe i will introduce a replayMP3Buffer in addition to the replayBuffer in
cDVBApi.
or i will check at StopReplay() if replayBuffer is the mp3 buffer and if
StopReplay was called from StartRecord, mp3 playing will not be stopped.

uh i didnt know that. maybe i am too stupid or the naming is not that good.
whatever, i rellay would like the album random mode. do you like to
implement this? would be much easier for you than me, because you better
know your code.  should be settable in the configuration how the random mode
is executed.
