Actually, a better idea might be to invent a new buffer flag, something like
DONT_SEND_IN_STREAMHEADER_IF_CHANGED.

multifdsink would then look at that flag and not send buffers that have it. The
producer can then change the streamheader safely - new clients will get the new
header, old clients won't get broken. That shifts the responsibility to the
producer, which is good, and adds flexibility.
