a) set all streams except the first one (or the one with lowest or  
highest bitrate, just anything that isn't completely random) to  
discard by default (before you return from the function, letting the  
app decide which ones to take).

b) if multiple are chosen by the app _after_ this, either warn on the  
commandline (or even assert, since it's a programming error) or warn  
and set all but the first selected video/audio to discard.
