Thanks. :-)  Works perfect now - no problem with asynchronous sound anymore.

So now the question remains of how to start the right binary (mplayer25 or 
mplayer30) depending on the frame rate from vdr with the mplayer patch. I 
guess I'll just use a workaround, e.g. adding it to the file name such as 
abc.ntsc.avi .

Btw - is there a little tool to get an avi file's information (resolution, 
fps)?

Well, lots of newer TV sets support multiple standards so maybe you could 
make it an option for configure or make, something like 
--videoformats=PAL,NTSC (of course set PAL as default :-). Hmmm - but then 
there's that scaling problem again...

So I guess all I need is that little tool that reads the avi information.
