 The aim of this ticket is to simplify the current MythTV Audio
 configuration while adding extra functionalities.

 *It combines earlier ticket (#5900) by "foobum" ; providing upmixing
 capabilities and 5.1 AC3 re-encoding. The upmixer can be enable/diabled at
 any time by pressing Ctrl-U.

 *Internal volume control (ticket #6279) to work even when audio is output
 via a digital device (including 'passthru' and upmixed AC-3). When setting
 the mixer to "software", gives mythtv the capability to control the volume
 of all content (including AC3 and DTS)

 *Simplification of the Setup/General/Audio screen, only presenting the
 options when they are relevant to the selected speaker configuration.

 *Remove settings that aren't relevant anymore or that only created problem
 (like aggressive soundcard buffer)

 *Simplify the stereo/surround configuration. Previously you had to set the
 number of speakers to stereo in order to get digital multi-channels.
