i'm using 2 PCTV 290e usb dongles.
should it matter what version the backend is, doesn't it just dump the stream to a file?
it's only a problem when BBC switch the stream from stereo to surround another BBC program i recorded played fine as it was only in stereo.
ubuntu oneiric repo: 2:0:24.0+fixes.20110908.1de0431-0ubuntu1
i tried the file in mplayer, media player classic and vlc.
vlc was the only one that could play it and only after i switched to the audio described track and back.

Could be VLC plays the file ok due to it using a newer version of ffmpeg than xbmc? As far as I'm aware, the version used in xbmc isn't going to be bumped until after eden is released..... if myth's just dumping it into a file and xbmc can't cope where VLC can, then it's probably going to be something ffmpeg related?

deadite66: I've updated my repo with the fix from MythTV so the audio should work now. Just be warned that the current version of xbmc PVR is quite unstable but I hope it will soon be fixed.
