Description

Describe the bug

The button to select audio stream from mp4 containers is missing at least for Firefox and Safari browser in NC19.

To Reproduce

Stream a mp4 video with more than one audio stream with one of the mentioned browsers. With NC18 and also with current iOS Nextcloud app and NC19 you can select your desired audio stream but with a browser and NC19 you cannot (you can only stream videos with default audio).

Expected behavior

This feature did work in lower NC versions and therefore it should still work with NC19

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Firefox and Safari with an MP4 containing multiple audio streams, comparing browser NC19 behavior with NC18 and the iOS app. Trace the viewer's video-player controls and audio-track handling; done means the selection button and menu appear and allow choosing a non-default stream.
