Yes, I think so. I have not tried to apply the patches manually.
I am using a Gentoo ebuild which applies them for me.

I have just setup S2API drivers with VDR 1.7.2 and the livebuffer patch
from VDR Extensions Patch 65.
Everything works pretty well. I can watch even watch HDTV using
xineliboutput and vdr-xine.
What are your channel switching times?
I've used 1.7.1 + extension patches 64 to have the livebuffer + xinelibout and was unhappy with switching time, even on the same transponder.
I've went back to 1.7.0 + the same xinelibout and see big improvements in switching time. I can see "sync early" messages in VDR logs, so I assume it makes the difference. Livebuffer probably breaks the ability to sync early.
