Off-topic (I suppose doing it automatically is beyond the state of the
art), but MP3s in theory should be pretty mergeable in some cases (eg,
spoken dialog where you need to substitute PG-13 words for the f**r-
letter ones :-).  Of course if you substitute a tuba for the piccolo
part throughout you'll have a problem (but then the question is "why
isn't the MP3 generated from a synthesizer control file?")
