Audio stream stalls after first segment in latest http-streaming but not legacy video-contrib-hls

[cazzerson]

Description

I'm working on an CloudFront-backed HLS A/V streaming player using video.js and are finding that while our video resources stream just fine, the audio resources stop playing (and is stuck on an infinite loading spinner) after the first (~7s) segment.

Interestingly, while I'm able to reproduce this on the newer RC demo, it works fine on the older video-contrib-hls demo.

It also works fine in video.js 7.9.7.

Sources

An example playlist URL is https://d171yf8pzr8938.cloudfront.net/12002_C0016_0001-playlist.m3u8.

Steps to reproduce

1. Visit newer RC demo with example playlist loaded
2. Press play
3. Wait ~7 seconds and it should stop playing
4. Visit older video-contrib-hls demo
5. Load example playlist https://d171yf8pzr8938.cloudfront.net/12002_C0016_0001-playlist.m3u8
6. Press play and it should continue to stream the content beyond the first ~7 seconds

Results

Expected

The player should stream the entire resource.

Error output

In our player, I'm seeing VIDEOJS: ERROR: (CODE:4 MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED) No compatible source was found for this media. in the Chrome dev console, but I see the same behavior in the RC player without that error message in the console.

Just an update after working on this some more. The audio stream works in video.js 7.9.7, but not in >=7.10.0 (i.e. http-streaming >=2.2.3).
