The reason for the 1 - 3 seconds silence is that the current driver causes
a full sound standard search after each channel switch. For video this is
fast but doing this for the sound takes some time...
This can be changed since the tuner driver needs to know the standard
anyway. But this is not an overnight job and there are more urgent issues...
