[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] lavf/concatdec: allow to match streams by id.

More precisely a list of all the streams wanted in the output file with
their id.

That is something I intend to implement at some point (unless someone does
it before me), but I believe this is a different use case, and both are
needed. See my recent patch "dvd2concat" for the use case of this feature.

Maybe a more explicit keyword than "id" would be better for this case:
possibly "exact_id".

This is not a problem. Even if the caller ignores the error (it should not),
it will just return packets for a stream with unknown characteristics, just
like random binary data streams.
