Additional information

I first discovered this issue around 7 months ago. In the past, I've sometimes been able to download the video at another time, and seemingly just by luck, get the desired video with 128 kbps aac audio. Lately, it doesn't work. The issue has persisted with every new version including 0.23.0, so I've finally decided to write up a report.

Probably the best solution to this would be to allow picking the audio that gets included with the video.
It seems to be suggested here: #5857
and someone else responds that it is already a feature, but it isn't.
As far as I can tell, I can only pick the audio if I'm downloading Audio-Only.

Seems like this something related to changes on newpipe end since the latest skytube 2.985 which used newpipe extractor v0.22.1 still default to 128aac audio for video downloaded, Nevertheless, being able to choose audio quality when downloading video would best to satisfy both end of the users.

I ran into that issue on newpipe v0.25.2 where the downloaded 480p mp4 videos have 48 kbps aac audio. The downloaded 720p mp4 video however have 128 kbps aac audio. On newpipe legacy v0.20.8 the 480p mp4 videos do have 128 kbps aac audio. To download 480p mp4 videos I use newpipe legacy instead of newpipe.
