The default is (and always was) to map one audio stream to the destination file,
iirc there is a heuristic to choose the right stream which often works fine but
sometimes chooses the wrong stream, see "audio streams" a few days ago.

(If you believe the documentation is wrong - I did not check - please send a
patch to -devel.)
