This runs pretty well, there is approx one pause of sound approx one second every 3-4 hours. (VDR recovers and image is not affected). With 150000, it still runs. Now the approx one second pause seems to happen once every 15-60min. (and recovery is also working) So, it seems that there is some probability distribution of these deltas, and increasing WRAP_THRESHOLD reduces the probability that the delta is too large. Is there any upper limit of the possible delta values (less than this 2^31)? Is there any harm to have a really large value? If not, then I guess it would be good to have a large value so as to make the problem probability small. yours, Jouni
