 This patch adds automatic audio transcoding to the UPnP server. This
 should allow UPnP clients which do not support OGG or FLAC to play these
 files.

 An additional "res" element is added to each advertised audio file, adding
 a modified URL. When a file with one of these URLs is requested, Myth's
 http server converts the file on-the-fly to uncompressed audio
 ("audio/L16" format). The original "res" element (advertising the file as
 OGG or FLAC or whatever) remains, so clients that already have support for
 these files should be unaffected.

 I have tested this using my Xbox 360 as the UPnP client. Because other
 issues stop MythTV's UPnP working with the Xbox 360, I have included
 changes from my Xbox 360 patch (at ticket #9632), so that I can be sure
 this is a working patch. If this is not acceptable, and someone lets me
 know, I can remove these changes and make a version of this patch which
 only contains the audio-transcoding changes (but I will not be able to
 test this patch myself).
