Basically I want to take the video (and audio) from RTL, and add to that as extra audio channels the audio commentary from both BBC Radio 5 Live, and BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra. All these channels are served from TVHeadend over HTTP. The result should then be output over multicast (which TV Headend then subscribes too) allowing XBMC to view a "fake" tv channel which includes the video from RTL and the BBC Radio 5 commentary.
When viewing the fake channel I would then use XBMC to switch between the audio streams (i.e. German/RTL, BBC R5L, BBC R5LSX) and adjust the audio delay (the audio is always ahead of the video handily!). Ideally I would be able to label the audio outputs or specify what language they are (e.g. I could say that R5L is English and R5LSX is French meaning (with the original audio continuing to identify itself as German) I can tell which feed is which) but this is less important.
The following batch file outputs the video and original audio from RTL and (via TV Headend) I can view it in XBMC however the additional audio streams are not available. I've tried various things but without knowing the correct terminology it's hard to find one that works.
