Admittedly this isn't the greatest idea. It comes out of laziness. My main wave editor is GoldWave, and I'm not sure if they meant it to be used like this or not, but I can drag and drop an mkv file onto it, and it will decompress the first audio track for editing.
The reason for wanting dBpoweramp Music Converter to be able to do the same, is that I don't know if GoldWave is keeping the bit depth correctly. It seems to always open any video audio in 16 bit. Also it opens DTS in stereo even if it's 6 channel. I'm hoping with the new(ish) decoding of DTS and AC3 in dBpoweramp it will do a better job.
Again, this request is out of laziness. I know I can use MKVToolNix to make an mka file with the exact audio track I want to edit, but it would be faster to just be able to convert the first track with dBpoweramp.
