It would be cool if Plex automatically selected the audio track based on language AND highest bitrate.

The track with the highest bitrate is not alway the best choice.  
You’ll need to be much more specific.

it would be great if the user can define what would be the best choice. For me, highest bitrate would it be, for others may be 2.0, 5.1 or 7.1, DDPlus, Dolby Atmos, DTX or TrueHD. A preffered preset would help
