How do you set the active tracks via a chromecast receiver while media is loading?

I'm developing a custom media receiver for chromecast. Is it possible to set the active tracks on media load? For example, I have two embedded audio tracks, and I want the second audio track to be what plays immediately on load. The sender does not know what embedded tracks are available, so using the LoadRequest is not an option.

  • Support for this was added in the 2.0.0 receiver release on Dec 1, 2014: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/release-notes
