The patch has to encapsulate the AC3 and DTS frames into
PCM frames. Only with this trick the DVB card can output
multichannel audio.
Conclusion: DD and DTS can only work if the stream goes
through VDR -> DD and DTS can't work in live mode! Only
in tranfer mode or by replaying a recording or DVD it works.

I've configured two entries for Pro 7 in my channels.conf.
The first is the same like the one from Klaus' default file.
The second is a copy of the first with a setted CAM value of
2 and a differnt frequency (becaus of the unique channel
number). So I can select "Pro 7 DD" and vdr starts transfer
mode from my second card and I can hear DD sound :-)
I haven't testet RecordAndReplayOnPrimaryInterface becaus
I'm using an older firmware.

I can't explain this effect. Perhaps the transfer mode is
still on after the recording? I have no idea.
