 Watching the football worlcup? Annoyed with those horns ?

 this patch will help.

 It is implemented by filtering the frequencies 233, 466, 932 and 1864Hz
 using a band-stop filter (notch filter)

 Was provided the info from:
 http://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2010/06/14/vuvuzela_buzz_ruining_your_world_cup_get_rid_of_it

 It is not perfect, but once active, you can finally hear people cheering..

 May commit it for convenience, but I feel the bi-quad filters parameters
 could be improved. If people are willing to tweak a bit, this is done in
 the file mythtv/libs/libmyth/audiooutpututil.cpp in void
 AudioOutputUtil::notch_update()

 By the way, the methods provided in the above link, don't give IMHO as
 good results.

 How to use it:
 Go to the settings -> general in the audio section.
 Activate Advanced Audio and check the Vuvuzela box. Validate all pages to
 the end.

 Now when watching a game, press menu, you'll see an entry "Toggle Vuvuzela
 Filter"

 The vuvuzela filter is disabled by default, and needs to be manually
 enabled each time
