Sounds like the discussion is leaning more towards the following:
User can choose to define a single "Default Audio Language".
1) Choose Audio Stream of that language by default.
2) If audio stream found, only turn on subtitles for that language if the "forced" flag is set on it.
2b) Otherwise, turn on subtitles for the "Default Audio Language" if found.

I would love to have the option to set the default audio and subtitle language. I it no fun starting to watch a movie that has German as default when I can only understand English. Same goes for subtitles. I think it would be a benefit to the entire xbmc community.

Point is that noone is going to want Russian audio and Chinese subs for movies that weren't originally filmed in Russian.

Not true: Many Animation is original in English and dubbed to local languages. Kids love to hear the local languages but lots of those films also attract older people who can prefer English (with or without subs).
Not to mention all those bilingual families all over the world.

Will language preference make it in to Eden with regard to the recent announcement on soft feature freeze?
