I'm assuming that by that logic, not splitting the streams and remuxing is
alright (correct me if I'm wrong).  That's how I've always done it, and
it's worked fine.

Besides, for cases where the streamdump has multiple audio channels, I
just tell mkvmerge to only mux the ones I want (mkvmerge -a 1 .. ).
