Not nesessary, Canal Satellite France and others decided to implement 
their radio channels using multiple audio pids.
Solutions:
1.) We need more entries for Audio-Names and APIDs.
2.) I remember that libsi is used for this (si, pat, ... prasing), so 
this could be implemented with:
(In the far future)
- A audio menu (NOW: a color key in main menu)
- A function which parses on every switch for avaible apids
spin off (In the far far future):
- A function which parses for dpids (privat_data)
- channel movement dection (should be also in si, pat, something 
acording to my memory)
  e.g.:
  Channelname: VDR live channel (watch Klaus programming, a 24Hour 
programm ;-) )
  transponder freq: 12345
  ...
  acording si, pat, ... moved to
  transponder freq: 12356
  ...

possibly I can gather further information about it.
3.) a Switch for unique identifers to turn them off
4.) leave everything

(ps: owing to the untiring programmers Klaus, Holger and the plugin 
developers.
Upgrading in progress to get all new bells and whistles ;-) )
