Research direction

Start by locating the handling for the sub-auto=fuzzy and audio-file-auto=fuzzy options in mpv, then trace how their fuzzy matching currently selects files. Determine how regex configuration should apply to these options and whether other fuzzy-auto options are in scope. Done means the requested options accept user-specified regex patterns with coverage for the supported behavior.
