There's still a pause problem (<URL:http://zap.tartarus.org/~ds/002.vdr>).
That may be caused by my code, though I don't see how when shoot-and-protect
isn't enabled.

Early results show BBC, ITV and Five using picture, and Channel 4 using
sequence.

Rounding to group /may/ be sufficient - sloppiness with the changes isn't
unknown, although some of that may be due to set-top box manufacturers
cutting corners.

(I'll be putting this patch or a followup patch in my .debs.)
