[mythtv] Any way to force DVB Audio PIDS in 0.17 ??

I have a problem with the Auto-pid functionality. Although it is great 
leap forward for most channels, there are some channels where audio pids 
are present, but either unassigned a language or not flagged at all. An 
example are the Taquilla PPV channels on D+.

Taqulilla 3-5 are properly signed with Spanish as the first language, 
and the original language on the next PID (and flagged as english). The 
addition of PrefferedLanguage 'eng' to settings table works, and the 
original language is recorded.

Taquilla 1,2,6,7 also transmit the original language as the spanish 
audio PID+1, but dont flag the existence of this PID.

Setting the Audio PIDs by hand in mythtv 0.16 or progdvb under windows 
allows the "hidden" audio track to be recorded.

Is there a way to manually set PIDS for certain channels, or a patch to 
force ? An approach would be to check the dvb_pids table, and use 
anything set there, or default to the current auto-pids code (which 
works well for all other channels.)
