This is also an issue for live streams because download_loop will keep
downloading segments until it gets a 404 error for a segment that has not yet
been published. This is a problem because this request for a segment that
doesn't exist will propagate all the way back to the origin server(s). This
means that dashdemux causes extra load on the origin server(s) for segments
that aren't yet available.

Ideally download_loop would check before trying to download a segment that is
in the future.
