No audio for pvr-x50 recordings

Description

An FFMPEG bug occasionally causes the MP2 audio codec to be mis-detected for recordings created by pvr-x50 encoders. The problem exists for trunk and fixes. This results in several issues for users:

  • no audio on playback
  • preview thumbnails missing since libavformat can not process video correctly
  • backend slow/hung due to preview generation stuck in loop

And the backend hanging causes:

  • playback failing and resulting in "Video buffering failed too many times" since the backend isn't responding
  • frontends losing connection to backend since requests to the backend timeout

I've detailed the problem and provided a patch to the FFMPEG project:

http://roundup.ffmpeg.org/roundup/ffmpeg/issue1149

Hopefully it will get fixed upstream in time for the next ffmpeg re-sync.

I'm also attaching a patch for mythtv to this ticket.
