- Select a different language track
What did you expect to happen?
The language track should change and the UI should update the active language track
What actually happened?
The language doesn't change using the Shaka UI or programmatically using selectAudioTrack. It does work when I use selectAudioLanguage, but this only works using a custom UI.

Without mime type
Are you planning to send a PR to fix it?
Not sure yet.
Additional information
I believe this only happens when the load mode is set to SRC_EQUALS, but we need this in order to support Airplay. I don't know why this is working correctly on the demo page.
