How do you want to do that? If I have one channel with 4MBit/s, 16:9, 
1024x576, MP3 stereo +  AC3 + subtitles and another with 2Mbit/s, 4:3, 
768x576, MP3 stereo, no AC3, no subtitles (which is both totally 
realistic, I think), how do you want to make that a "constant" stream?

That would be ideal, but might be pretty hard.

Another possibly solution might be to just tear down the player in the 
frontend, before the frontend sends the channel changing command to the 
backend, and then to reopen the player after the change finished (if the 
frontend can know that).

Thanks for looking into it! :-)
