We can consider it is up to the container format to define the track names. We could recommend that there be a naming scheme such as video[0] ... video[n] and audio[0] ... audio[n] to address multiple a/v tracks, maybe even text[0] ... text[n]. But I don't think they make much sense - it would be better the names chosen had some semantic meaning, such as "video", "sign-language", "audio", "music", "speech", "sound-effects", "audio annotations", "subtitles-en", subtitles-de", "karaoke-en", "lyrics" etc.
And .. yes, at some point somebody should have some standard names for these - in particular for accessibility it would be nice to be able to say through the protocol "I want no audio tracks, but video and sign-language and all text tracks".
Maybe there is a scheme that we need to develop, where the codec type is also part of the naming, e.g. video.sign-language, audio.annotations, video.music etc. We haven't thought much about structure for describing tracks yet. - Related Actions Items:

- ISSUE-4 (nessy): Should we pre-define some track names? (from sysbot+tracker@w3.org on 2009-03-04)
Related notes:
At the F2F in Barcelona it was discussed to leave the definition of standard names to a later version of media fragments. For now it should suffice that we allow container formats that are able to provide track references to address them in this way.
Silvia Pfeiffer, 17 Apr 2009, 09:49:18[conrad]: so i think we discussed not predefining lots of track names, but perhaps predefining "audio" and "video" only: in which case action 73 would be to change issue 4 to "Should we predefine track names for audio and video"
