[mythtv] Timestretch & AC3

[John P Poet]

If ac3_passthru is turned on, timestretch does not work. This makes sense, 
since it would have to decode the AC3 to adjust the timing, then re-encode 
the AC3 before sending it to the pre-amp.

If ac3_passthru is turned off, timestrech works great, even with Dolby 
Digital audio streams.

I generally watch with a stretchfactor of1.0, and I always have ac3_passthru 
turned on. Sometimes, however, I find myself watching a show that needs a 
higher stretch factor. Easy enough, I thought, just have myth turn off the 
do_ac3_passhtru flag if the stretchfactor is changed to something other than 
1.0. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be sufficient -- all I get is 
silence.

Can someone familiar with the audio code, tell me what is necessary to 
reinitialize the audio handing when do_ac3_passthru is toggled?

Thanks,

John
