you cannot have different paramaters like a different codec in a AVStream
suddenly. if you do the demuxer or some other part or the stream itself
IS buggy

lets start from square 1
what exactly is the problem? i dont think you ever reported a bug related
seeking, mpeg ts and changing stream parameters.

second dont you realize that what you do with av_find_stream_info just
cannot work you call av_find_stream_info() after a seek but what if things
change without a seek? what about stream copy, no format supports chnaging
codecs mid stream except maybe mpeg-ps/ts but iam not sure if they really
do either

so what is the real problem?
is the parser not updating the number of channels or is the mpeg ts
stream switchin from mp3 to ac3 or what?
