Detail:

Up to now, when using Media Source Extension, you had to create a source buffer 
of a specific type using the MediaSource.addSourceBuffer method, providing the 
mime type describing the container and optionally the codec. You could then no 
longer change the container nor the codec.

Comes changeType , it allows to mix different codec within the same video 
element.
One particular use case would be to use different codecs according to the 
selected resolution.

Like using AV1 for the very low bitrate due to the exceptional performance of 
AV1 there, and switch later to VP9 or H264 as they are a bit more friendly 
resource-wise.
