I have been playing around with the hls element and it seems like there might
be a problem with swapping bitrate. The element starts by fetching (and caches)
three clip fragments from the stream with the lowest bitrate and they play just
fine, during the caching the element notice that it should increase bitrate and
fetches a few seconds later a version of clip4 that has higher bandwith. 

So far so good, BUT everything freeze when clip4 is about to start playing!

I have been using this stream to test with:
http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/bipbopall.m3u8

I also have a small (and most likely very very wrong) theory as to what might
be the problem:

http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/gear1/fileSequence2.ts :

Program 1 
Stream #0.0[0x101]: Audio: aac, 22050 Hz, mono, s16, 35 kb/s
Stream #0.1[0x102]: Video: h264, yuv420p, 192x144, 14.99 tbr, 90k tbn, 180k tbc

http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/gear2/fileSequence3.ts :

Program 1 
Stream #0.0[0x101]: Video: h264, yuv420p, 320x240, 29.97 tbr, 90k tbn, 180k tbc
Stream #0.1[0x102]: Audio: aac, 22050 Hz, mono, s16, 1 kb/s

That is the PIDs change "mid stream"!

Am I the only one seeing this (that is that if playing the HLS stream above it
freezes after 30 seconds) or have I found an actual problem?
