[mythtv-users] Selecting L/R/both audio channels

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I couldn't find anything
about it in a search of this ML or the FAQ or myth docs.

I wonder if its possible to toggle playback of the different audio
channels of a stereo broadcast (L/R/both). I'm not referring to the SAP
(Seperate Audio Program) system which is used in US broadcasts, in
which a different audio track is carried in a completely different part
of the signal IIRC. I'm referring to broadcasts in which the left audio
contains the original language and the right audio has the dubbed
track. This type of broadcast is very popular in Japan, at least.

I don't want to mess with the recording of the audio, since I might
want to watch the same show twice for language practice. I just want to
be able to mute either the left or right audio, so that the other
channel is sent to both L and R outputs. AFAIK, this feature isn't in
mythtv yet, but if it is, I hope someone will let me know about it. :) 

If not, I'd like to let the developers know about this feature request.

Thanks,
Jason
