Uh? The rendering pipeline has not changed much from 0.8.6 to 0.9.8, contrary 
to the UI.

This is highly subjective, and I don't think the Debian BTS is the right venue 
for such points.

They behave just like they did in 0.8.6. For most settings to apply, you need 
to stop the current playback and restart. This is not new.
