I thought my original code could do this part.  However, not having a
pvr250, there was no way to test it.  but if you have it working, that's
great.

  i had also wanted to resample the audio down from 48K to 32K,

Yeah, this is not really supported in my original code.

I can't help you here.  The audio-init code in ReencodeFile was basically
just ripped out of the NuppelRecorder initialization (or was it TV_rec?),
as I recall.  I never really understood how this was set initially, so
perhaps Isaac can be of more help here.

(I'm glad that someone other than me uses the transcoder :)
