[vdr] How to debug skips async with vdr?

Hi, since upgrading to the most recent Ubuntu release 8.10 (Intrepid), my FF card is having problems. It is async with audio, both for some live TV channels and some recordings. It is also skipping while watching live TV. (This is not a full diagnosis, but the skipping appears to be limited to
