Automatic text on screen showing 5.1 AC3 or Stereo

Is there any way to automatically generate a short text on screen showing the active audio track?
eg: "5.1 AC3 Surround" when track 1 is active and "Stereo" when track 2 is active.
This would be placed (say) in the lower right corner of each screen and would serve to remind the viewer that they haven't changed from the default track 1 (5.1) to track 2 (stereo) if they are running on stereo only hardware.

You could do this with a subtitle track that you set at the same time you set the audio track.

Ahh, that doesn't work. Subtitles only appear at the bottom of movies.
I don't want this to appear on the movies themselves, I want this to show on the bottom of the menu containing the buttons for the movies.
Any suggestions anyone?
