I did yesterday, and Uwe confirmed my observations.
Andreas' modification does not work with my AC3 VDR recordings.
Some frames seem to match the condition

so I get stutterings and my amplifier switches back to PCM mode every few
seconds.
It stays in 3/2.1 mode most of the time however.

The DVD's I tested however work perfectly ever since.

That flag you mentioned seems not to be an idea _that_ bad after all, if
maybe a little "ugly"....

Yours
Stephan
