Please add ability to select from audio streams in a file

Where there are multiple audio streams in a single file (e.g. a .trp file recorded from DVB-S/T television, or .vob files) it would be great to be able to pre-select the preferred stream please.

How?

1). Selecting the codec: It might be easiest to have a way define a rule somewhere in the profile to choose one audio codec over another, e.g. prefers AC3 over HE-AAC. This might need to be device profile specific.

2). Selecting the language: Another expansion of this idea, would be the possiblity to select a preference for a language. This could be a drop down box in the console.

Possible issue (and suggested solution): I would presume if both ideas were implemented, a problem would be if the profile codec preference contradicted the console language preference (e.g. device prefers AC3 natively, but the user prefered language requires transcoding). The fix could be a selectable option below the suggested language option e.g. Priority = "Language choice" | "Device supported native formats".

Thanks for your consideration.
