This function now + has an 'int' return value. + + PlayAudio() of derived cDevice classes shall no longer call the base class + function.

The "Green" button in the "Main" menu has been changed from "Language" + to "Audio", since it now also controls switching between normal and Dolby Digital + audio tracks (see MANUAL for details). +- The description of the audio tracks is now taken from the "component descriptors" + that are broadcast in the EPG data. However (as no big surprise), not all channels + actually provide useful data here, so there are now some additional EPG bugfixes, + which can be activated by setting the "EPG bugfix level" to 3. +- The format of the 'epg.data' files has been extended by the new tag 'X', which + contains the stream components of an event (see man vdr(5) for details). +- The cStatus class now has the new member function SetAudioTrack(), which can be + used to get notified when the audio track has been switched, and the new member + function SetAudioChannel() which is called when the audio channel is changed. +- Skins need to implement the new cSkinDisplayTrack class to display the audio + track menu. +- The ST:TNG skin now displays the current audio track description (if any) at the + botton left side. +- The new setup option "DVB/Audio languages" can be used to control which audio + language shall be selected in case a channel broadcasts in different languages + (see MANUAL for details). +- The "Left" and "Right" keys in the "Audio" menu can be used to switch between + the left and right stereo channels in case there are different audio tracks + in these channels (see MANUAL for details). +- Fixed a possible race condition in cDevice::Action() (thanks to Mattias Grönlund). +- Fixed the default quality value when grabbing a JPEG image (thanks to Patrick + Gleichmann). +- Fixed deleting a menu item in case the next item is not selectable (thanks to + Dino Ravnic). +- Implemented displaying mandatory subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Marco + Schlüßler). +- The setup option "Recording/Record Dobly Digital" has been renamed and moved to + "DVB/Use Dolby Digital".
