....
The solution I worked out was to force synced = true for radio recordings: I
can see no bad effects from this, apart from the aesthetics of it being
impossible for it to be synced in practice!

      if (PictureType)
         *PictureType = I_FRAME;
      return resultBuffer->Get(Count);

Some of the line numbers may have changed (that was for vanilla vdr-1.3.15)
but it shouldn't be hard to patch by hand.
Since patching this, I have had no problems with radio recordings.

Hi,
I've patched vdr-1.3.17 like you, and multiple 9.4 MB files problem is gone.
But all others strange behaviours are still there.

Does someone have an idea how to fix that ?

Thanks.
