fab: Channels can offer as many audio soundtracks as they want. Usually there are two: the regular soundtrack and audio description. TVs that understand audio description properly won't show the audio description as a separate soundtrack, as it's supposed to be mixed in with the regular soundtrack to help people with sight problems understand what's going on.
The soundtracks are otherwise labelled with the language that the soundtrack is in. The code comes from ISO 639-2. This might be 'eng' for English or, for BBC Alba, 'gla' for Gaelic. 'und' means 'undetermined', which is appropriate for crowd noise only!
I suspect the reason for the 'und' stream could be so that the service can ask the TV to add the specific commentary on top of the crowd noise, and save some bandwidth. The BBC still try to remain compatible with some equipment that doesn't support MHEG interactive content, so they don't apply this to 'proper' channels, only to 301, which is normally accessed through the 'Red Button' MHEG program.
Do be careful selecting this, as some equipment remembers your last language choice - either for that channel or for all channels!

Mike, thanks for that description. When you say, channels can offer as many audio soundtracks as they want, presumably doing so would be at the expense of something else, would it?

I am trying to find the BBC red button channel.
On Sky (with or without a card) there is no EPG number for the red button or it is not on 987.
If you wish to view it when there is no link (BBCi page 100) then:
Press SERVICES, 4, 4
Frequency; 11.773 (GHz)
Polarisation; Horizontal
Symbol rate; 22.0 (Mbaund)
FEC; 5/6
Press 'Find channels' and tick
6390 = BBC red button (301)
But this channel has no sound.
Eutelsat 28A & Astra 1N/2A/2F at 28.2°E - LyngSat lists it as 10773 H, 22000-5/6
Dose anybody know the new frequency?

Mark A.: It seems that the expected numbering wasn't agreed by Sky. I have removed then from the UK Free TV database.
