Well, the libdvbv5 VDR output support was written aiming VDR version 2.1.6.
I've no idea if it works with VDR 1.6.0. Don't remember if I tested support
for such version when I wrote the code.

Also, as it seems that VDR 1.6.0 was released in 2008, it probably won't
support DVB-T2 (with was added in 2011) and may not support DVB-S2
(added in 2008, but support for DTV_STREAM_ID seems to be added only
in 2012).

So, at least for DVB-T2/DVB-S2, people likely need some version newer
than VDR 1.6.0 for full support. If so, the changes proposed by Markus
and Chris won't be disruptive for 1.6, as they seem to be touching only
on DVB-T2 and DVB-S2 support, right?

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,
Mauro
