Thanks, that worked.  I can't use -alang, but I can use -aid on the dumped
stream.

Given an mpeg stream with multiple audio streams, how can I (1) change
which audio stream is the default stream and (2) remove the streams that I
don't care about (to save space)?  I was thinking that I could use
'mpgdemux' (part of 'mpgtx') to demultiplex the streams, and then
remultiplex back only the streams that I cared about, but mpgdemux doesn't
seem to be demuxing the streem correctly.  What other tools might be
useful?
