There is a non-blocking option, see man 2 open. However I don't think 
that will help you, since the card doesn't seem to be accepting data. 
So there's probably an ioctl to do beforehands.

I don't know the DXR3, and I don't know how it works. The best is 
probably to look at Xine or Mplayer and see how they do it. I'm 
surprised you pass VLC's PTS (in system clock scale) directly. This 
is so unnatural. I would expect you pass something derived from the 
90 kHz MPEG clock. In both cases there is probably a way (ioctl ?) to 
calibrate the real-time clock.
