Just to be clear, Perian didn't mix the multiple audio channel,
simply let user select wich to play :)

Matroska is a good container and I like it, but unfortunally it is too
easrly for it and many "low level" user can't handle it.
I think the the most easy solution is to write the info on a 3rd file.

Thank you!
