Kodi has transcoding since version 14. If you mean the "lower quality" to cope with TV shortcomings, that should be there since rc2 or rc3. So in short: yes.

That being said: I kicked off two new builds, notsoshitty and shitty. The only change for the notsoshitty is a workaround for tvheadend, which also is in the shitty build, but this one contains the pcmhack twoliners.

Offtopic: Btw. the streamchange stuff that causes sw decoding is already fixed properly in next gen v18 (not yet merged, but on the way). peak3d implemented the new interface. Great potential.
