How do you know which the "main" streams are? The AutoPID tries to be a 
bit intelligent and makes its decisions based on "preferred" languages, 
stream types, filtering out "visual commentary" and audio for the 
"hearing impaired" etc, but it's not that easy to automatically decide 
which stream the user wants and IMHO it's better to be safe than sorry 
(i.e. better record too much than too little).

If you have any ideas for improving this, I'm open to suggestions (and 
patches). :) The code is in AutoPID() in dvbrecorder, and you might want 
to search the list for "PreferredLanguages" too. The AutoPID *should* 
log which language each stream is in; I don't know when this got lost 
but it's simple so I'll send a patch in a bit...
