this is, in fact, a so called 2-channel-audio. This means channel 1 (Left) has
the "normal" audio, channel 2 (right) is the comment for people wich are blind
or have a weakness of vision...
This is also use often to broadcast 2-languages 
(i.E. german on channel 1 and english on channel 2)
Every stereo-tv-set has a function to switch from stereo to channel-1-only
or channel-2-only but unfortunatly the most VDR-users (I think so) have their audio
along a hifi-amplifier wich mostly have a mono-function but not a function for
left os right channel only...
so it could be a nice feature if VDR can do that...
