Please make sure that the channel you are recording has the "Dpid1" parameter
set in the channel setup, and also that the channel actually broadcasts AC3
sound. So far the only FTA channel I know of that does this is Pro7, and its
Dpid1 is 257. This works for me (at least I get the data, since I don't have
any AC3 equipment I can't actually replay it).
