That would be great, you're right, I've thought about that yesterday, when
I missed a scene and wanted to rewind it (but I wasn't recording). The 
problem is, that THIS ringbuffer wouldn't be a usual recording, but it 
would have to follow channel movements. 

That's something I'm coping with in my streaming plugin, as well, and I
didn't find a (working) solution yet. Like I wrote about a week ago, I
have the problem, that after switching, that means 
1. Detach()ing the receiver
2. Switching the channel (maybe even transponder)
3. Attach()ing a new receiver with new pids
4. Directly append data to the ringbuffer that holds the rest of the
   previous channel.

When I replay that with mplayer, after the first switching the picture gets
slow and sloppy (no problems on TV screen). When I restart mplayer without
doing anything to vdr, it replays fine again.
