would this make a subtitle and a audio track exclude each other ?
one can want a subtitle ad audio stream of the same language as well
as different languages play at teh same time

You're right, on the other hand probably there won't be a proper default excusion policy which suits every use case.

There is another way to exclude streams, using the advanced mutual exclusion object which define groups from which only one of the streams can be selected.

I can put all audio streams into such a group, but in this case the exclusion type (language based) may not reflect the reality in case of multiple bitrates of the same language. Also AFAIK ASF can have multiple streams of the same type as well for fancy multi-video streams.

Obviously I can create an option "exclusion_policy" which controls the behaviour, the reason why I did not do that is because I thought subtitles in ASF are very rare anyway and writing language exclusions is usually what the user wants.

So which approach do you prefer? Adding an option for this? What would be the default? Or writing advanced mutual exclusion objects based on some other logic?

Thanks,
Marton
