Some weeks ago (middle of November) I have announced here a patch for this 
against vdr 1.3.15. Unhappily this was the time, when there was some trouble
with the mailing list server. Therefor you can't find that announcement in 
the archive.
I also used the function AUDIO_CHANNEL_SELECT and it works fine for me on 2 
PC (one with a DVB-S Rev. 1.3 card, the other with 2 DVB-S rev. 1.5 cards). 
It works in live _and_ replay mode, but I am only able to hear a difference 
if the selected audio stream contains two different audio channels. This is 
(here in central europe) mainly on the swiss channels and with some arabian 
channels on hotbird.
You can download my patch file from
