Force MediaBrowser to ac3 audio

I just bought the Serviio license and tested out MediaBrowser. Unfortunately it defaulted to mp3 audio encoding for the clips that I tried to watch. As my ARM NAS lacks a proper FPU it's totally maxed out and stutters every few seconds.

-Dserviio.fixedPointEncoders automatically switches ac3 to ac3_fixed and makes a world of difference when transcoding online media to my TV. Would it be possible to force MediaBrowser to use ac3_fixed instead of libmp3lame?

You can change it in the profile, it is the flv_player and its stored inside application-profiles.xml

But I'm not sure Flowplayer supports AC3. I think it might AAC.

Yep. That seems to be the case. Bummer.

  Code:
<Video targetContainer="flv" targetACodec="aac">

allowed me to play some clips natively (no conversion). I added a ticket to allow -Dserviio.fixedPointEncoders to select libshine as a fixed point MP3 encoder (instead of libmp3lame) when available.

I have yet to find a fixed point AAC encoder.
