Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior with example.mkv and example.mka while using audio-file-auto=fuzzy in mpv.conf, then compare the subtitle-selection behavior described under --subs. Done means that when no subtitle is selected, the applicable external or embedded subtitle can be selected as expected; no log or sample files are provided.
