Adding audio encoders for Ubuntu
Audio encoders are now binary add-ons, but in Ubuntu they are not packaged with Kodi. All other official Kodi versions have these add-ons included with the default install. For Ubuntu, they must be installed through apt-get, similar to how PVR add-ons are installed. In the future this will be something the user can manage from within the Kodi GUI, but for now they must be installed outside of Kodi.


 * 1) Quit Kodi if it is already running and open a terminal window
 * 2) Type in sudo apt-get update and enter your password when prompted
 * 3) Type in sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAMEHERE but replace PACKAGENAMEHERE with a package name from the table below.
 * example: 

The audio encoder add-on should now be installed.
