I didn't close the ticket. :)

BTW The FreeboxRecorder now provides a better example for the
FirewireRecorder.
Due to limits on the number of connections we can make in a set time by
a Freebox
ISP we reworked it to keep the connection open across the changeover
from the
signal monitor to the recorder by putting the connection logic in
RTSPComms.
Something similar could be done for the FirewireRecorder, but of course
it
will be more complex..
