The bandwidth is shared between all audio and video channels (and subtitles, etc). Think of packets of information continuously laid out on the disc. The player uses the content it wants, and throws away the content it doesn't.

The BDMV transfer spec is 54Mbps from the drive. And the mux bandwidth is 48Mbps.
