Ok, it's the same. A new version now should do what you want. Look in
led.c for the lines:

    // so, anything active anymore?
    if ( m_replays == 0 ) {
        // no active replays anymore, do something
        // system ( "parout 1" );
    }

    else {
        // we have at least one going on, do something
        //system ( "parout 3" );
    }

And remove the // from the system() lines, and change the calls to
whatever you want. I use "parout" which is a minimal little tool for
writing the given value to a parallel port (1=VDR on, 2=recording on,
3=both on).

After you've changed the line, build the plugin use "make all".
