I did replay tests with a VOX recording from yesterday:
1) vdr-1.0.4 + siemens_dvb-0.9.4-2002-06-23                --> ok
2) vdr-1.0.4 + siemens_dvb-0.9.4-2002-06-23.patch          --> not ok
3) vdr-1.1.22 + linux-dvb.2002-12-08                       --> not ok
4) vdr-1.1.22 + linux-dvb.2002-12-08 with 0.9.4 firmware   --> ok

The recording was created with configuration 3).

firmware in configurations 1)+4):	
254324 Apr 15  2002  Root
   288 Apr 15  2002  Dpram

firmware in configurations 2)+3):
254444 Aug 30 12:50  Root
   288 Aug 30 12:50  Dpram

AFAIK firmware 'Aug 30' is the direct successor of firmware 'Apr 15'.
It seems that the well-known RTL bug has returned in a light form.

We have to live with this until one of the firmware developers finds 
some time to fix this. Please, guys! ;-)
