It is not possible to choose the audio track in a mkv movie

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a mkv movie with dual audio. Video codec: H264, audio:MPEG-4 AAC audio
2. Try to select another track.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The movie opens with the first audio track and when you try to change it, you 
can not. The first track continues enabled.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Linux, debian testing, kernel 2.6.38. Gnome-mplayer 1.0.3.

Please provide any additional information below.

If I use mplayer with blue skin, I can chance the audio track.

This has been fixed in the 1.0.4b1 code. Also you need to have a fairly recent 
version of mplayer as there was a bug in the audio track id reporting that was 
fixed in about 1-2 months ago. This bad reporting caused problems with the 
track selection.

I compiled the version 1.0.4b1 and the problem still occurs. Now, when I select 
another track, it is selected (the check buttom is selected), but the audio 
does not change. I'm using mplayer from debian-multimedia, version 
3:1.0~rc4+svn20110505-0.0 (svn 33367). I'm going to download the latest svn 
version and report here what happened.

Another thing: the video file contains a subtitle. In mplayer it is possible 
activate ou desactivate easily the subtitle (right click->subtitles-> none or 
track 0), but in gnome-mplayer, in edit->select subtitle language there is not 
a option to do not use any subtitle.

There is the V option or View Subtitles to show or hide subtitles.

I use the file here for subtitle testing

And it does work for me, 

As for audio files if you can provide me a file for testing it would be 
appreciated, but the track selection does seem to work for the mkv with dual 
audio that I have.

I'm using mplayer SVN 33506

The option V worked for me too. I did not know about it. Thanks. Is there a key 
to change the audio too?

You can find a dual audio file mkv in sites about animes. Download some 
episode. I download a file with dual audio using codec "vorbis" and I changed 
the audio track succesfully. But, with a mkv file, using dual audio with codec 
"aac", it did not work. 

A example of mkv file using dual audio AAC can be found here: 
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T3JYI3AN. The languages are japanese and 
portuguese.

Remembering: I can change the audio successfully using mplayer or totem.

Thanks,

Well the file you point to does have problems, but it is because the tracks 
have no identification, so the problem is due to bad metadata in the file. I'll 
see if I can work around that.

SVN should fix the problem r2124. Also the hot key to switch audio tracks is 
'#' just like mplayer.

It still does not work in MPlayer svn r34540 (Ubuntu), built with gcc-4.6 (C)
