i use three DVB Cards and ac3overdvb and autopid patch with these i get ringbuffer
overflows, very soon after starting vdr. This does also happen with plain vdr, but only
if the card go into transfer-mode which it always do (when watching Premiere), because
the cam is connected to the third card.

If you increase the buffer from
transfer.c:#define VIDEOBUFSIZE  MEGABYTE(1)
to
transfer.c:#define VIDEOBUFSIZE  MEGABYTE(3)

i didn't get the ringbuffer overflow messages
