It's not about the tags changing at all, of course those could just be stripped
out if that was all. It's about the logical structure of the underlying audio
stream, which is technically a second audio stream completely separate from the
first one. playbin2 handles this automagically without the application ever
knowing about it, while decodebin does not. That's just how this kind of thing
is exposed at the GStreamer level. It can't and shouldn't just be ignored
GStreamer side (otherwise you'd end up with a partially transcoded audio file
without realising).

If the application doesn't want to handle this itself, maybe it should be using
something like the playbin pipeline mentioned above.

This is not a choice for GStreamer to make. We just provide the tools
application developers can use, exposing things in various levels of detail.
