Can you define what "default" means? It's not at all obvious. Is it a duplicate of "original" or something else? Rich

It means: if the decoder is going to play only a subset of the tracks (e.g. multiple audios), and it has no particular reason to pick one track over another (i.e. the user hasn't selected any nor provided a rule to select for him), then bias towards the one marked default. --Loren Merritt
