I wonder where you guys are getting the idea that VDR would be "looking for data"
and deciding "not to record" the second APID?!

If I'm remembering the code correctly, VDR sets up the necessary things to
receive the VPID and both APIDs and then records whatever the driver delivers.
I can see no place where VDR would say "hey, there's no audio data on APID2, so
let's ignore anything there that might come later".

Maybe its the driver that doesn't deliver audio data on APID2 if there is none
from the very beginning?
