This was previous mentioned here in the ML, but I think it should also be
put in the INSTALL notes.

Please Patch VDR with the included vdr-1.2.6-mp2PlayAudio-v4.diff
Then (in Replay) you can select which audio you want. I am not sure if it
works during LiveTV (did not test since pre4) ? A previous version (V2)
was able to do that in Live TV (IIRC), but in that version AC3 was not the
standard sound on Replay.

Please try setting mmap to yes and also try bigger Delay values. On my
system a value of 11-12 is the right one. See readme's for more about
delay.

On Pro7 and Sat1 I (mostly) have very nice Sync with 0.48pre7 and since
yesterday also with 0.48pre8. But ZDF is a bit difficult - at least with
with pre7 - let's see what the changes from Werner in pre8 does.
