This is Chinese satellite TV?

You might create a #feature-suggestions post to see if other people will vote for it too.

If you’re using xTeVe, I wonder if using FFmpeg as the Stream Buffer and configuring it to transcode would be simpler.

Here’s an example for audio; try changing -vcodec copy to -vcodec libx264.

I think you may be right.
So I have to compile a ffmpeg that supports CAVS.
