"Das Erste" sets the "language" of its DD track to "dd", which is
complete and utter nonsense:

Das Erste;ARD:11836:hC34M2O0S0:S19.2E:27500:101=2:102=deu,103=2ch;106=dd:104:0:28106:1:1101:0

The "ZDF" correctly sets the language of the DD track to "deu":

ZDF;ZDFvision:11953:hC34M2O0S0:S19.2E:27500:110=2:120=deu,121=2ch;125=deu:130:0:28006:1:1079:0

VDR tries to find an audio track that provides the preferred
language, and "dd" is not a language.

BTW: the "2ch" they (both) use for their second MPEG audio channel is also
nonsense...
