[vdr] kvdr, features, Xv

[Guido Fiala <gfiala@s.netic.de>]

Just wanted to gather suggestions for next kvdr.

-KDE2+3 compileable
-switch between alsa/vdr volume handling via commandline parameter

Another thing is Xv - i'am still not convinced...
The 16bit YUV output looks certainly much worse than RGB565 (16bit) and 
probably RGB24 is even better - but Xv can only do YUV formats and at maximum 
16 bit. (Have a close look at yellow and brown color shades).
Has someone out there an RGB format reported by the "xvinfo" tool?

About the green stripes in Xv (aka black stripes in grabbed images) at 
replayed recordings. (it can only be observed there).
- could still not solve the problem, but it would help if i know if someone 
does _not_ observe those stripe-failures at all. That is because i want to 
know if it is a chipset problem or really a dvb-driver problem.

About the unneccessary high cpu load - it seems that this was somehow 
introduced at Q4/2001 into XF4.?.? as other people observed the same problem, 
still no solution - or has someone a patch that solves this?
