 I've noticed that if a station changes it's audio track from stereo to 5.1
 and vice versa mid-playback - for example, when a 5.1 program starts -
 (which is something the HD channels using DVB-S2 in the UK do), the OSD &
 Audio track pop-up menu does not update to reflect this. Unfortunately I
 am unable to test whether the change also occurs with the actual audio, as
 I do not have a 5.1 speaker system.

 What I can confirm is that the change is picked up within 3rd party
 clients such as XBMC, which leads me to believe that the problem is only
 on the User Interface (although within MythTV, that may also restrict what
 audio channels are played through the speakers, I'm not sure)

 Essentially, the OSD and User Interface (and possibly what audio comes out
 of the speakers too, although I am unable to test this) only sticks to
 what the audio format is at the moment the file playback is started, and
 doesn't change when the audio itself does, mid-program. This may prove an
 issue when setting the audio format flag for the recorded file however (as
 at the very start of the recording, the 5.1 program itself may not have
 begun, and so the audio may be still set to stereo.
