I have been working on that, however I do not see where the difference
lies, since for my DVDs dvdnav and dvd behave the same.
It looks like the issue should be in libdvdnav, but that should mean
that e.g. VLC would have the same issue unless there are still more
patches not yet merged back.

I'd have to read up on it, but I think that is just not possible at
that point. The language info comes from the ifo, whereas the channel
number basically must be determined by the decoder.
I suspect that this is so in general, because my hardware DVD player can
show the channel layout also only for the audio stream currently
playing.
