Switching could be done once (maybe with runtime choice to the user) which
could be handled by a pointer/reference PlayAudio() to

       (Norm|DD|DTS|MPEG|MP3)PlayAudio()

functions (eierlegende Wollmilchsau:).  This would save a lots of
case switches on the type of audio stream during runtime (less cpu load).
