DolbyE

DolbyE is an audio format containing one or more audio programs packed together in one stream. Muxed DolbyE audio is shown as an AES3 stereo audio stream in the output file. Additionally, it can be muxed in "split form", and represented by pair of AES3 mono streams.

DolbyE output is configured using <dolby_e_program /> block on the format level.

DolbyE output contains one or more audio programs. These programs are represented by existing audio_stream entities. To include audio_stream element as an audio program into DolbyE output you should set <audio_codec /> to dolbye and <dolby_e_program_id /> to the number of the desired output from <dolby_e_program />.
