Just set the AC3 PID instead of the "normal" audio PID.
I haven't tried this yet, but I would guess that this should record the
AC3 data. I am planning to implement multiple audio PID support, once
VDR 0.80 runs stable with the new driver. However, I don't yet know
how to output the AC3 stream. Maybe I'll just assume that there will
be a program into which VDR can "pipe" the AC3 data while replaying,
and that program will have to do whatever is necessary to replay the
digital sound.
