Your player is not the only user of the libavformat API
and with low latency audio codecs tiny packets could require
thousands of "has anything in this AVStream changed" checks per second

you do suggest to make streams change arbitrarily.
Thats a API change, so you should first understand the existing
related APIs

Also teh design of the new API is for all user applications

there needs to be a plan how to support this in ffmpeg and the muxer side

The API is a puzzle piece in this plan. It must fit in, even if
other people work on ffmpeg and the muxers.

Dont you agree with that too ?

thx

If a bugfix only changes things apparently unrelated to the bug with no
further explanation, that is a good sign that the bugfix is wrong.
