### Problem Description
While FreeTube does support multiple audio tracks nowadays for videos that have them, currently it defaults to the original language of the video. So if I prefer watching foreign videos in another language, e.g. watching English videos dubbed in Spanish, then I have to manually select the Spanish audio for each video I wanna watch.
### Proposed Solution
Add an option, under either "General Settings" or "Player Settings", to select the default audio track for all videos (a specific language, or just the original video's language).
### Alternatives Considered
Another option could be to use the existing "Locale Preference" setting to select the default audio track instead of adding a new setting, though that might be less "flexible" for the end user.
