Hard to bump it up my own stack, since my own patch works for my
own copy.  The only thing likely to bump it up the stack is users
regularly reporting how they are getting no sound on some recordings.

However, the code isn't too hard, the hard part is getting a good enough
sample of typical streams (from DVDs and programs) to figure the right
heuristic.   If you have examples of what's on your DVD (the debug output
from mythfrontend seems a good start) and others have examples of other
multi-stream dtv recordings they have, mail them to me or the list.

But I'll enter a bug to remind us for the future.
