imo he means the preferred audio format should be a _separate_ option
from language. aside from the fact that both are used for selecting an
audio track, they're not related, so it's illogical to put them
together in the same option. like mosu said, -alang is already very
inconsistent between different demuxers, and this just makes it worse.
with a separate option i think it would be great though.
