I suggest you first test ffmpeg (the command line application) 
or ffplay (or MPlayer). If they do not support the changing of 
number of audio / video streams or parameters (not bitrate, 
since that changes all the time for real-world codecs), 
consider reporting it here, on ffmpeg-users or on trac.

If it works, you only have to make updates in your 
application.

Codec change is generally unsupported afaik, if you have 
such a sample, please provide it!
