add_stream_from_template sucks, and also fails when using input_stream that is mp3

I don't see any added value from this new interface to replace the original, why not add a call to the function if "template=" is sent to add_stream Instead of expecting us to modify our code.

In addition it would be lovely to get a dict representation of all codec defining params. so that they'll be

Example API

j = input_stream.codec.dict()
j['layout'] = new layout.
output_stream.add_stream(**j)

add_stream_from_template can be fully typed, unlike the original API.
The mp3 codec is fixed in 14.0.1

Great news about the fix.
What about the ability to extract all of the params that can then be used to re-enter as the example above ? That would be a very friendly interface.
