[FFmpeg-user] Using FFprobe to read WAV track names (BWF/iXML metadata)

[Communque]

Is there a way to retrieve BWF metadata from a wav file using FFprobe?

I've got a WAV files, 14 tracks

Adobe Audition can see the BWF data in Window > Metadata > iXML (i.e. BWF metadata)
	e.g.
Track 1
Chanel Index 1
Name: Mix
Track 2
Chanel Index 2
Name: Mix Minus Narration

etc. etc.  All tracks 1 through 14


Likewise Avid MC can see the same data for all 14 track.s

But nothing in FFprobe.

Pasting the output below.  Some of the data is included in the "Metadata comment" output, but that separate area of data, not the actual track data that Adobe or Avid is reading from.
