Choosing audio source in WMP

I have this avi file that has dual audio. It plays overlayed spanish by default. Audio 2 is english only. I have the option to choose audio 2 with Media Player Classic, but I cannot find a way to do this with WMP12. Is there a method or workaround to enable alterate audio using WMP? If not, is there an easy way to strip out one of the audio streams?
 
Well, it's been a couple of weeks and no replies. I used to have a program that I could demux the audio and then mux it back together. Forgot what proggie it was (didn't use it that much) since I moved from WinXP to Win7 x64. Anyone? 🙂
 
Using avidemux, load the file, choose copy for both audio and video streams, then select the desired audio language source from the toolbar. Then save as a new avi.

That should take care of it.

Alternatively, you could install k-lite or sharky's codec packs which will install the appropriate splitters and codecs to allow you to select the desired audio track from a systray icon, as well as enable support for other A/V formats, like ogm, mkv, multi-channel ac3, dts, pcm audio, subtitles, chapters, etc, etc...

If you're not interested in installing a whole bunch of codecs and other stuff, you could just install haali media splitter and that should take care of it. I do highly recommend the k-lite codec pack (both x32 and x64 versions) though for all the extra format support.

The avidemux link worked for my purposes! I couldn't figure out why it didn't save with an extension, but I just added one (.avi) and I was good to go. Thanks again! 🙂
