Oh yes, of course. Is this not also called "demuxing"? Or is demuxing
just the splitting of the stream?

I found out this may be an issue with the snd-hda-intel module.

When I use a different model option for this module, the siutation
changes, at least the bluetooth headphone does not lose connection, but
audio still drops out.

MPlayer reports I and B frame errors, but DVB works.

I now use
modprobe snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire align_buffer_size=128000

I will try out VLC now with DVB to see if the VLC codecs work better
than Xine/kaffeine.

Thanx.
