This patch adds DTS passthrough support to complement the AC3 passthrough
 already present. It adds an extra option in settings, next to the one to
 enable AC3 since not all decoders support both.

 In order for it to work myth must be linked against libdts. This is not
 really a new dependency since it is a dependency of libavformat and myth
 can already be built against libdts by using --enable-dts. Even with this
 patch libdts is still optional; if not provided, then there is no option
 to select DTS passthrough. The patch doesn't use any code from libdts, but
 libavformat will not recognise DTS streams without it.

 If both are available and selected then DTS takes precedence over AC3
 since it is higher quality.
