My very late comment on this..

About "analog", _I_ don't have analog, all my VDR sounds come out via optical SPDIF to avoid ground loops, so normally the audio signal encoding is PCM.

As already proposed "PCM" is widely used in other receivers. But it does reflect audio-format of SPDIF, and how about if you are using analog audio out.

My suggestion would be something like which reflects input format and which can be parsed from stream info(?):
- DVB audio (deu)
- DVB audio (eng)
- DolbyDigital AC-3 (eng)
- DTS (eng)

And also if from setup-menu you don't have flag SPDIF/digital out enabled, those digital format audios would be grayed out, unless you have external decoder-setup (command line -a if I remember correctly).
