Either you recreate the video output, or there is a change-source-$property 
control request that all video outputs (or all video windows, depending) 
implement.  You cannot just change a property silently, AFAIK.

And I don't think that the latter is even realistic here. We cannot switch 
(almost) all video output to invalid-pictures just for stereoscopy.
