[Bug] Audio language selection only shows English, ignoring other available dubbed languages #1938

Description

@Calborghete

Describe the bug

I found an issue with the audio language selection in Parabolic.

When downloading videos that have multiple audio tracks (for example, videos with official dubbed versions in Portuguese, Spanish, and other languages), Parabolic only displays English as the available audio language. The other audio tracks are not listed, even though they are available on the video platform.

As a result, it is impossible to select the correct dubbed language directly within the application.

Steps to reproduce:

Open Parabolic.
Paste the URL of a video that contains multiple audio tracks.
Open the audio/language selection menu.
Observe that only English is available.

Actual behavior:
Only the English audio track is displayed, while all other available languages are ignored.

Additional information:
This issue seems to affect videos that use YouTube's multiple audio tracks feature. It appears that Parabolic is not correctly detecting or exposing the additional audio streams.

Describe the expected result

Parabolic should detect and display all available audio tracks/languages provided by the video, allowing the user to choose the desired language (such as Portuguese, Spanish, French, etc.).
