This part causes me a bit of confusion.. From my messing skimming of the hdtvrecorder.cpp
functions it looks to be converting the stream ot Mpeg Program Stream, but I haven't read enough
of the ISO Mpeg-2 docs to know for certain is it Stripped TS or PS.. I am not to the point to
worry about that yet.. I am pretty sure that it will be trivial for the recorder to record
whatever PIDs it wants to into the ringbuffer..  I think the bigger thing will be how do you make
the player change audio tracks.. I also wonder if anyone knows how to do that for the PVR350..
