If you mean the application audio track selection, your element does not
have to do anything special at all. Just work as before.

If you mean changes of the input format of your audio decoder, you'll
get notified about that by changing caps. You will need to handle that
and reconfigure your decoder then.


Also you should consider using GstAudioDecoder as base class for your
decoders as it handles most of the common behaviour of audio decoders in
GStreamer and you'll have to write much less code.
