yes

the selection can be best made by using eval.c functionality
that is for example:

ffplay -select_stream 'b*lte(b,100k)*lte(w,640)'

that would select the stream with the largest bitrate <= 100k and width <=640
"lte" means less than or equal (see eval.c)

the implementation would just look something like

for(i=0; i<nstreams; i++){
    AVStream *st= stream[i];
    int typ= st->codec.codec_type;
    values[0]= st->codec.bitrate;
    values[1]= st->codec.width;
    values[2]= st->codec.height;

    score= ff_parse_eval(e[typ], values, NULL);
    if(score > best_score[codec.typ]){
        stream[ best_i[typ] ]->discard= AVDISCARD_ALL;
        best_score[typ]= score;
        best_i[typ]= i;
    }else
        st->discard= AVDISCARD_ALL;
}

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.
