afaik vdr core attaches the player of the launched cControl to the 
primary device automatically.
only one cControl can be active at the same time.
i propose to change that behaviour, so that more than one cControl can 
be launch ( if more replay devices are available and fitting for the 
kind of player)
of course the cControls must be connected to  differnt remote control 
hardware . this way vdr could be made multiuser capable.

but afterall, maybe the gain isnt worth the pain ;-)
