 This will break the sout, no?

 You could modify the avcodec wrapper to allow delayed open of audio codecs
(it is already done for video, like THEORA).

 A better solution might be to create bitstream filters that convert from one
bitstream format to another one, use them in the sout muxers, and let the
packetizer split into frames but without changing the payload content. It will
fixes some issues (like for example when the AAC properties change) but it's
a lot of work.
