Description
Your idea
In an older version of MS3 it was actually possible to easily change the sound of a mixer channel during playback – a very useful feature. However, this was lost duting an update, never to return.
Suggestion
Allow the user to change sounds in the mixer during playback, and without any glitching. To enable this the appropriate menu list of sounds should stay open even after selection of the new sound.
Problem to be solved
Not possible to change sounds during playback.

Research direction
Start by locating the mixer sound-selection UI and the playback handling in the MuseScore codebase, then trace what happens when a sound is selected during playback. Done means a channel can change sounds while playback continues without glitching, and the sound menu remains open after selection.
