I hate to contradict what was said in the ticket but since this
requires decoding the audio it's probably best done in an external
program managed by mythtv like how real-time mythcommflag works.
That way libav crashes don't take down the backend. Other than that
I think this is a great idea.

PS I wouldn't be opposed to storing recording quality metrics in
the DB, I just didn't do it in those commits because it wasn't
necessary when everything is handled in the recorder. With an
external process that might be the easiest way to handle the
interprocess communication and would be consistent with how
mythcommflag works.
