First up, let's all get on the same page.  I read Lorenzo's message 
again and as far as I can tell we're all still talking about playback, 
_not_ recording.  If you found some weird recording thing, it's not what 
we're talking about.

1. Draw a segment on track 1 and put some junk in it, set it to repeat

This is our noise making source.  It repeats just so you have less junk 
to draw to slap the test together, and you could substitute a really 
long segment filled with lots and lots of junk (or even real music if 
you prefer!)

2. While it's playing, change the instrument on track 1 from #1 to #2, 
which also changes the channel from 1 to 2 in the process.

Rosegarden 11.whatever I tested with this morning actually made the 
channel changes instantly.

Al Thompson did a good job of summing up why I never noticed we used to 
do that: changing channels during playback is often a good way to 
experience mayhem.

Now, apparently, we don't do that anymore.  Change the instrument to #2 
now and nothing happens until you interrupt and restart playback.  Since 
the behavior changed, and it's apparently behavior at least one user has 
come to expect, it's officially a regression.

Since two out of three users surveyed think changing channels while 
playback is rolling is a goofy thing to do anyway, it doesn't look much 
like it's worth taking on Batman to me.

I don't have a strong opinion on any of this, and will go with the flow.
