I think the new pcHDTV drivers are great news. I'd love to have you guys 
on board using and improving the DVB code! :-)

There is much room for improvement in the DVB code for sure, but the TS 
recorder in .17 should handle multiple audio tracks just fine. The PS 
recorder is limited to one audio track of each type at the moment though 
because the frontend seemed to have some troubles with handling more 
than one track in PS recordings, but I recently discovered a little bug 
with the stream ids that might have influenced this so maybe we can 
remove that limitation soon...
