While this is being changed, it would be nice to be able to configure
this in the settings. I have patched my mythtv installation to do
DTS->MP2->Whatever, because AC3 tracks are not as loud as MP2 tracks in
DVB-S here and I usually watch TV without the 5.1 receiver.

BTW, the codec for MP2 is called CODEC_ID_MP3.
