The Ogg backend has always ignored invalid streams in files and played the valid, and I'd just followed that precedent.
We've supported this approach in the Xiph libraries and applications because at various times things like Skeleton and subtitles were treated as "unknown streams" by most Ogg-using applications. Refusing to play a video because you don't recognize a subtitle track (possibly for a language you don't even care about) seems a little silly.
But refusing to play the audio in a file when it also includes a video track in a format you don't recognize seems more reasonable.
