Confirmed; the supplied patch works for me.  Thanks!

An update:  the same loss of sound occurs when changing between media types (e.g. DVB -> DVD or vice versa.)  I suspect that a similar statement needs to be added elsewhere in the code to fix this problem.

hmm in xine 1.1.10 changelog there is that:
* Fix a possible crash on channel change in the DVB plugin.

could anyone confirm this is now fixed ?

lets assume this is fixed since I can see some code that looks like this patch in 1.1.14
