Ouch..need to reconfigure my other mail client..other use my real name 
and other shows that "prelude" what i use in on line gaming nick.
Yes i use DFB multi-application core.
It can but because i use g400 TV out softdevice reserve whole output. So 
i got error if i try to run other application to that surface.
Normally i run mplayer/other apps from shell (ssh from laptop to my vdr 
machine).
I need to test that softplay someday when i got more time...It's a 
probably a correct solution to watch movies.
Anyway i believe that sometimes is handy to disconnect vdr from 
audio/video only pressing one key but maybe i'm wrong.
