I used softdevice for years and honestly do not think freezing was a
problem.

I have setup a key on the physical keyboard to do such.

Thanks for pointing out that I can check the return values, that could
be useful.

One thing that I notice is that when vdr-sxfe freezes I can no longer do
a svdrp GRAB.  So, perhaps a cron job can be setup to try a grab, and if
that fails restart vdr-sxfe.  Or, xineliboutput could implement a PING
command.  A hack, yes, but it still might be better than frozen video!
