Why would you say that?

You might be able to avoid glitches by making sure you send RTCP for the alternate SSRCs so synchronization info is available, though this may require the receiver to know somehow that the SSRC's need to be "lip-synced" (in this case audio to audio though).  Overall - here be (baby) dragons in the glitch-avoidance variation...

You might need to be careful about asynchronicity due to the renegotiation and not re-use the same PT for a different rate of telephone-event (ping-pong between two).  There would exist a window when there was a switch where it would be problematic to send telephone-event (and you'd need to require that both sides switch when one does). Overall - here be (big) dragons.
