Tip for anyone who needs money:
Look at ffmpeg.c, line 804:
    if (ost->audio_resample && !ost->resample) {
This condition is insufficent, ost->resample cannot be re-used
but must be freed and re-created if the number of channels
from the decoder changed.
Strictly, this all also should handle the channel mask properly,
but that is work beyond this bug-fix.
