Don't know what happened with my first response. I never got it back via
the list, but is available in the list archives.

It would be very easy to add an API that tells you which is the next
channel / stream that have activity in the packet queue. Question is if
it's the right thing or not, and if it is, what should such API look
like? How much detail need to be exposed to the application for it to
know what libssh2 operation(s) is need to continue with?

So for you simple polling of all your channels is not really a problem.

Each channel can be divided into N streams. Each stream is processed
individually by libssh_channel_read_ex() (without _ex is only a wrapper
to process stream #0), but windowing is performed on the channel as a
whole if I am not mistaken.
