$piFlexForm = t3lib_div::xml2array($flexForm);
$conf = array();
   foreach ( $piFlexForm['data'] as $sheet => $data )
      foreach ( $data as $lang => $value )
         foreach ( $value as $key => $val )
           $conf[$key] = $this->pi_getFFvalue($piFlexForm, $key, $sheet);

This lines amazingly enable language fall back. (- with the problem of 
only one step fall back as is topic in the other posting)

Thanks for your tip. I checked this class but there seems no function 
that could solve my task. - so I might stay with t3lib_div::xml2array 
and then get the fields in the "correct" language afterwards.
