 Some optimizations to mpegrecorder for the HD-PVR device.

 Checks input resolution and sets bitrates *before* starting encoding.
 Doing that after encoding would always require a recovery by the poll-
 timeout patch in ticket #5604 (unless the input resolution happened to be
 720x480).  By moving the check before starting encoding, the poll-timeout
 recovery is only needed if the input resolution changes.

 Also add a few usleeps, which *seemed* to make ioctl communications with
 the HD-PVR more reliable in the past.  It is possible that they are not
 needed anymore, but I decided to error on the side of caution.

 Patch also contains Janne's "hack" to prefer AC3, if available.  I can
 remove that part, if needed.
