Known problems, bugs, and workarounds for this driver:
------------------------------------------------------

* The MP3 plugin's "show live TV" option while playing stuff doesn't work.
  Workaround: none known, but the black screen isn't that bad if you
  make the MP3 progress stuff/playlist visible...

* VCD plugin does not work.
  Workaround: use the MPlayer plugin to play VCDs.

* VDR crashes at exit.
  Workaround: none known.  Unless you want to try to debug it (which you're
  most welcome to do, obviously!), you probably don't want core dumps all
  over your disk.  Disable them with eg. "ulimit -c 0" in the environment
  you run VDR in.

* When cutting recordings from some channels, the still picture is stuck
  and won't move when you press 4 or 6 to fine tune the cutmarks.
  Workaround: see vdr-iframe.patch in the patches/ directory.

* If the TV aspect ratio does not automatically adjust according to the
  video stream, and you have a ADV7170-based DXR3 and a PAL system, see
  em8300-adv7170-wss.patch and vdr-dxr3-wss.patch in the patches/ dir.

* The OSD colors are wrong in some cases.  In particular, channel info
  and some pages with the osdteletext plugin seem to suffer from background
  color "bleeding".  Workaround: none known.  Most of these problems are
  due to the fact that the DXR3 OSD is capable of max 16 simultaneous
  colors, but the channel info and osdteletext problems described above
  are most likely due to something else.

* The TVOnscreen plugin's OSD is a mess, positioning errors etc.
  Workaround: use TVOnscreen < 0.6.0.  0.5.2 works fine for me (Ville).

Other TODOs:

	- colormanger
	- spuencoder
* osd via
	- ffmpeg
	- vga overlay

* optimize (is it worth it?)
