I found the problem, the test under linux with 0.4.4 gave me the hint. 
It warned me about CRC32 errors in PSI packets. Our TS recorder updates 
the PAT and writes a new CRC32, which is obviously wrong. Why doesn't 
the windows client complain about this?

What probably changed between vlc-0.3.1 and vlc-0.4.x is that libdvbpsi 
was used and the CRC32 of PAT packets is checked. That is why the 
problem popped up at our side.

I'll have to fix the CRC32 generation. It is not a but in vlc.
