Hi Andreas,

I don't see this message. But this might be the cause why DGA does not
work anymore, of course.

I tried mplayer now. Seems to work fine. Thank you for the hint!

A bit OT:
Now I wished, my ~/.mplayer/input.conf would work, so I can use
the cursor keys to change channels (it seems, it is being ignored,
even when using "-input conf=...").
