It was mentioned at least the last time using the lavf demuxer was
discussed on mplayer-dev-eng (proposed by Evgeniy that time).

MPlayer does not print the track name later. And the information is
useful to see what tracks are available for selection, so anything
printed only _after_ selecting the track is too late. Cycling through
the choices is not a good way to find out what is available.

It can happen easily enough if you use the Page Up key to move through
the file (10 minutes is enough to cause a noticeable pause).
