First of all thanks for this nice addition: keeping audio track names.
Perhaps in near future, when it fits in your planning: possibility to change the label under certain conditions?
In screen shot (mpeg-ts satellite recording) the Track 2 - mis is an Audio description for people with visual impairment.
For sometime in the future: handling/keeping subtitle stream(s): Open Source Media Center Software, handbrake and mplayer also have parts dealing with these.
Don't know if there is a flag set in audio stream to recognize if audio Stream is for hearing/visually impaired (HI)

If there is a flag, perhaps an enable/disable [v] to mark track as such?
Writing the label info is not enable yet, I suppose? Looks promising:
It would be very useful to be able to change the names of audio tracks. I have some AVIs with audio tracks in Russian and English, named "Track 1" and "Track 2." I would like to rename them "Russian" and "English" so that VLC can properly select the track based on the user's default language setting.
This should be functional? Load video and in menu (textual) audio select the required audio label from within the 1st option there should be a drop down menu for each track with nearly every possible language. If described menu is not found, it should be similar named. Don't have access to avidemux currently.
