You are trying to trick concat into merging files with different streams
and match streams between them. It is not how concat is designed to
work, it might work in your particular test case but will not work in
more complex cases and will break other use cases.

For example, with your change, if you concatenate a file with metadata
"start_time=12:00" and another with "start_time=12:01", it will generate
a file with both metadata entries instead of just the first one as would
be desirable.

Implementing your feature is not completely trivial: look how it is done
for subtitles streams in DVD structures. The concat stream defines all
the streams it expects to find in the file and specifies a condition to
match them, "exact_stream_id".
