[vdr] AC3Out as a setting?

["Robert Schneider" <Robert.Schneider@de.ibm.com>]

Hi folks,

every now and then I find a recording where the AC3 data isn't present due 
to driver problems. Before using the AC3Out patch, I could work around 
that by just renaming my ac3dec command so that vdr didn't find it and by 
that was playing the PCM sound. Now with AC3Out this is not possible any 
more, however, the AC3-less-recordings still exist (I mean there seems to 
be AC3 packages 0xbd, but there's obviously nothing in it).

Would it be asked too much if the AC3 Out would be made a setting in vdr? 
Actually, one only had to put an "if" around the call to ExtractAC3Stream 
in dvbapi and that would switch between PCM and AC3 sound.

I know I can do that myself, I just wanted to post that in case others 
face the same problem and would also appreciate such a solution.

Being frank: Andy Grobb, as the obvious maintainer of the AIO patch, would 
you incorporate that if others would express that wish, too?

Regards,

Robert
