I updated the firmware, did all my test again, still exactly the same
issue! The stream plays with totem-xine but not with mplayer. tzap and
mplayer do work. (this all works with em28xx devices)

I attached my logs.

Any ideas, does mplayer works directly with dvb on your side so without tzap:
$ /usr/bin/mplayer -dvbin timeout=10 dvb://"3FM(Digitenne)"

Cheers,

Jelle
