I'm sorry, I just redirected stdout and forgot to redirect stderr
to the log file. The main differences to the log file with stderr
are, AFAICS, some lines at the very end of the log, like:

dvb_streaming_read, attempt N. 5 failed with errno 11 when reading 2048 bytes

Similar to the output below. If it is important, I can post the
log file again (with stderr).

When starting mplayer I can hear the audio stream for a split of
a second.

Hmm,... does "Core dumped;)" mean, that file.ts is written?
There is no real core dump, since mplayer exists with code 0.

Well, mplayer doesn't complain. But I can not hear or see
anything.
