What do you mean by "disappeared"? This works fine for me.

The extra audio track from the attached file simply doesn't appear in the audio track list.

What type of audio file is it?

I tried mka, ac3 and flac

Hmm, this is very strange. After re-updating to the latest version, everything worked fine. Okay, then I apologize for the time taken...
