The time shifting consists by menconder capturing from vl42 and 
recording in a fifo and a thread reads from this fifo and record into 
files. There is another thread that reads this files and feeds mplayer 
by stdin.

This process is working very well using some kind of encoding like mpeg2 
  , mpeg4, ... But this problem just appers when I use video raw. 
Mplayer doesn't reach EOF becouse I have paused mplayer so what mplayer 
was playing it was late by at least 10 minutes from live tv.

Using sar to generates reports of disk usage I see that i/o is not 
overloaded becouse disk %util stays around ~30%.

Whatelse could cause EOF to mplayer?
