I am not 100% sure if you can really do anything, I would like to know if that mediasplitter helps so please test if you are up for it.
The workaround that we use is that we change the speaker config on the tv itself, A or B or A/B
Not sure if your tv is able to seperate the audio channels though?

AFAIK, the media splitter isn't used when watching live TV. I'm going through a A/V receiver so there's of course the option that you mention, just disable one of the channels if there's something that i really need to watch on this channel.
But there should be something in the TV-Server, or perhaps client, that should take care of this.
I already have a swedish girlfriend. But maybe i can have two. Need to do some research in this area ..

OK, then just speculate on what could help you instead of just trying...

What could help me:
My STB doesn't have this problem. What does it do then ? Well, i'm not sure but i would guess that it just sends the swedish audio on both channels if the language on the other channel isn't Swedish. I'm guessing that the sound is mono here, not sure of that though.
Well MediaPortal has to do everything by software, while your STB does it by built-in hardware. It is no wonder that the results are different if MediaPortal lacks one piece of software. The STB is well developed before it is available on the market so it has everything it needs built-in. MediaPortal would depend on codecs, drivers etc. even if it wasn't BETA-software anymore. You get the point ?

I'm guessing that a STB of today consists of a DVB-n chip, a RISC processor and whole lot of software.
"The STB is well developed..." : obviously, you haven't tried the Sagem HD box that Canal Digital uses
And i doubt that this has got anything to do with codecs and drivers.
But of course MP is missing something here. What i want to know is what it's missing. And if someone is working on this problem.
I have the same issue on two channels on Canal Digital in Norway (dvb-c). I also remember that some old DivXes that I downloaded a few years back was this way. Think this is a "cheap" way to send two mono languages trough.
Would also love MP to detect the mono streams and split them, but it might not be that easy. Hope someone wants to dig into this issue at least
