I'm pretty sure that's what's being done when:

>>> mplayer -ao pcm:file=.... file1.dump file2.dump ...

is used. A slightly roundabout way is to get Matroska involved (I'm  
having problems coming up with something else)

mkvmerge file1 +file2 -o merged-file.mka

Then run it through MPlayer with a dump. MPlayer will treat the whole  
thing as one file, thus dump one file. I'm fairly sure there has to  
be an easier way of doing this, I just don't know it.
