Considering that the "multiproto" API did think of handling this, I really don't understand why the "technologically superior" *S2*API didn't even think of this. Requiring the user to configure this is a workaround that even more disqualifies the decision to go S2API. But anyway, it looks like we're stuck with this inferior API, so I've posted a patch that adds this capability. Let's hope it gets adopted - VDR 1.7.2 will require it, anyway.
