That would help, but then the delay between the DVD state machine and the 
final display gets larger, causing syncronisation problems with 
menushighlights and subtitles.
The solution for that advocated by libdvdnav (as i understand it) is to use 
your own fifo's for video/audio and navigation packets. VDR's ringbuffers are 
IMHO not very suitable for that and the required changes to the plugin are 
not trivial.
