There is no audio track switching at runtime. You can use -aid on
command line whenever needed. If you put aid in your config file, you
may end up with a divx movie without that track number. For example, if
you vcds number the tracks aid=0,1,2,... but the divx avi may have video
on track 0, audio on track 1, ... such that aid=0 means no audio.
Temporary solution: stop putting aid in your config file. Suck it up
and use -aid on the command line when needed.
Long-term solution: help restructure the player core to allow things
like audio track switching to be done without big hacks. This is not
easy. (Send a patch. :)
