Apply the 1-line debug statement mentioned in this post:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/116619?search_string=%22Only%20MP2%20audio%20is%20currently%20supported%22;#116619

Make sure you use the modified line posted by Shawn, it's more helpful
than my original version.

See if you get the same result as the user in that post.  If you do get
252 printed, you can try changing the 0xfb to 0xfc as he mentioned to
see if it works.  If it does, report back here and we can get the code
fixed up to allow both.

If anyone wants to put up a sample recording and email me the URL, I
can take a look at it with the transcoder.
