Not to be overly pedantic, but I've never liked the term "soundtrack" when referring to a film score. I mean, isn't the soundtrack -- literally -- all the sounds/noise heard by the audience including gunshots, hoofbeats, thunder and car crashes? All those LPS we bought back in the '60s, '70s, '80s and into the '90s claimed (often falsely) the music was "from the original soundtrack" -- and, by inference -- MINUS those gunshots and hoofbeats. Thus it's always rankled me when I hear someone refer to, say, John Williams, "who composes all those great soundtracks." Great music, yes ... great film scores, yes ... but NOT soundtracks. There. Thanks for letting me vent.

It's just one of those many words out there that have two meanings depending on context. In fact, one can add a third meaning when people talk about a 'soundtrack of their lives', meaning whatever sounds or music accompanies them in their everyday life, as inspiration.
Nothing particularly strange with homonyms. Like 'row' can mean propelling a boat forward, something organized in a line or an argument.
