So of course I speak English, but there are times (For the few foreign shows I watch) that have dubs in which I would prefer to hear the original audio with subtitles. Is there a way to make it so these play automatically in their own languages? I could probably re-encode the .mkv files so the default audio is the foreign one and the default subtitles, but there's no quick way to do this in a batch. It'd take all day to do one show. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

This is an option in XBMC v12 (Frodo), which is currently in beta.

Ah okay. Does XBMC auto-update somehow, or is there some way I can move to the beta version? Is the beta version still extremely buggy or mostly functional?

It's got some bugs left, but for me is very usable. You'll still want to backup your
userdata (wiki) folder just in case.
Do update you just install the beta over the existing install, and download it from
http://xbmc.org/download/ under the Beta section.

So I've checked and I can't find the option anywhere. There's a set for all videos option for subs, but not for the audio track?
