This may be true, but my experience is different:
Watching live tv (and there is apid2 in available) VDR never fails to switch
to apid2.
While recording, VDR always records apid1 and misses apid2 most of the time.
This behavior is independent of the actual settings in the channels.conf.
E.g. I have the following in my channels.conf:
Premiere Sport 1:11720:h:0:27500:255:256,258:0:101:17
US Sport 1:11720:h:0:27500:255:258,256:0:101:17

I can actually record both channels in parallel (using two DVB-S) and the
result is (in >95% of all cases):
The first recording from PS1 will have apid=256
the second recording from USS1 will have apid=258
as audio. And none of them has both apid1 _AND_ apid2.

To conclude, the driver can provide both apids except that there seems be a
problem to get both apids at the same time to VDR.

I order to make a test if the error is within the driver or within VDR I
come back my original question:
Where in the (VDR-)code is a good starting point to _FORCE_ VDR to record 2
apids ?
