I completely disagree. Those options should be ignored in the input item.
They never worked properly anyway: the stream output took the options from
the first item and wrongly assumed the subsequent items would use the same
option values until the user pressed stop and start again. That made
absolutely no sense.

If you want to pass stream output options per items, then you must not use
sout-keep. In other words, you cannot have the butter and the money for the
butter.
