#3260: Internal player chooses wrong audio track for default playback

 Priority:  minor                          |   Milestone:  unknown 
Component:  mythvideo                      |     Version:  0.20    
 Severity:  medium                         |

 I use 0.20-fixes. I have an AVI rip of a DVD of a movie with two audio
 tracks. The first track is the soundtrack and the second is a commentary.
 The movie was filmed in the early 1960s and so has glorious mono sound.
 The commentary was done recently in stereo. Because the commentary track
 has more sound channels than the actual soundtrack the internal player
 picks it as the default audio track to play, which of course isn't the
 desired behavior.

 I suggest that the following decision tree be followed:

  * Play the first available 5.1 track. (It's unlikely a commentary will
 done in surround sound.) Else . . .
  * Play the first audio track, regardless of whether a later track has
 more channels.

 If the above is too cumbersome, I suppose that a simple
  * Play the first audio track by default

 will still be an improvement over the current arrangement, which is too
 smart for its own good.

 PS - Although I listed this under MythVideo, apparently [http://www
 .gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/259872#259872 the issue exists
 with MythDVD as well].
