to be honest: I don't know, because I only used the FF card with VDR,
but used only budget cards for my own programming.

In case the FF card gets a (partial) transport stream, it could still
synchronize to the contained PCR packets - depending on interrupt and
transport latency (DMA?), the jitter will be higher than with direct
processing, though. If there are no PCR packets in the stream, it can
only use a free-running clock adjusted by guessing from PTS. But still,
you will have audio and video in sync without lost/double frames...
(as long as the intermediate stream has PTS)

Wolfgang
