Channel specific Audio stream

I've never been able to completely cure minor stuttering on some channels due to multiple audio codecs in the graph. I need to have codecs for MPG1 & AC3 enabled for the Oz DVB-T broadcasts, as well as AAC for live cable TV via a Colossus.

A drop down option in the Channel Details window could select the desired audio stream (default, mpg1 , ac3, aac etc) and would mean NPVR would only need to load appropriate one in the graph for live tv. The default setting would mean NPVR would run as usual and load all enabled. I tend to get a drop in CPU usage with only one audio codec loaded, as a happy bonus.

The flaw to this idea is that the graph is not rebuilt when you change channels, so it needs all the audio decoders for channels you might change to later.

Hi Sub, I was thinking of a snippet of code that looks at the channel change request and rebuilds the graph only when changing to a channel with a different stream. Changes to channels with the same selected stream would leave the graph intact. The extra delay between channels with different selected streams wouldn't worry me, and I imagine most people would leave all channel audio stream options set to default and would never be affected.
Just a thought
