+- Improved replay at the begin and end of a recording. The very first and very last
+  frame is now sent to the output device repeatedly until GetSTC() reports that it
+  has been played. cDvbPlayer::Action() no longer calls DeviceFlush() (thanks to
+  Reinhard Nissl for making sure vdr-xine no longer needs this).
