Comment (by dericed):

 In this case I think video:pix_fmt would be the closest semantic
 equivalent audio:sample_fmt if it's feasible to make them appear in the
 same column, but this would involve restructuring the output rather than
 just adding headers.

 Since the stream values are unique per stream could make one header per
 stream type rather than for all streams. Such as:
 {{{
 stream:video,index,codec_name,codec_long_name,profile,codec_type,codec_time_base,codec_tag_string,codec_tag,width,height,has_b_frames,sample_aspect_ratio,display_aspect_ratio,pix_fmt,level,timecode,id,r_frame_rate,avg_frame_rate,time_base,start_pts,start_time,duration_ts,duration,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,nb_frames,nb_read_frames,nb_read_packets,DISPOSITION:default,DISPOSITION:dub,DISPOSITION:original,DISPOSITION:comment,DISPOSITION:lyrics,DISPOSITION:karaoke,DISPOSITION:forced,DISPOSITION:hearing_impaired,DISPOSITION:visual_impaired,DISPOSITION:clean_effects,DISPOSITION:attached_pic,TAG:creation_time,TAG:language,TAG:handler_name
 stream:audio,index,codec_name,codec_long_name,profile,codec_type,codec_time_base,codec_tag_string,codec_tag,sample_fmt,sample_rate,channels,channel_layout,bits_per_sample,id,r_frame_rate,avg_frame_rate,time_base,start_pts,start_time,duration_ts,duration,bit_rate,max_bit_rate,nb_frames,nb_read_frames,nb_read_packets,DISPOSITION:default,DISPOSITION:dub,DISPOSITION:original,DISPOSITION:comment,DISPOSITION:lyrics,DISPOSITION:karaoke,DISPOSITION:forced,DISPOSITION:hearing_impaired,DISPOSITION:visual_impaired,DISPOSITION:clean_effects,DISPOSITION:attached_pic,TAG:creation_time,TAG:language,TAG:handler_name
 }}}

 If the csv header for stream stay as one line, then the 14 column header
 could be something like:
 {{{
 video:width|audio:sample_fmt
 }}}
 though the column position for each metadata value would change based on
 the metadata of the stream, right?
