As long as the hardware on the DVB cards are not able to put
the 16bit none audio PCM data stream into a 32bit none audio
S/P-DIF transport stream all receivers which uses the bit flags
of the S/P-DIF transport stream for identifying none audio
loose.  All S/P-DIF data get from the DVB card to not have the
none audio bit set.  AFAIK this is a hardware bug (or better
this is the information I've got from TT) ...
