Actually this patch already makes it work, you also need to enable buffering
flag for playbin. Why isn't it default? It would make sense to enable it
forcefully for adaptive streams.

I particularly don't like the idea of demuxers emitting buffering messages. It
seems that hlsdemux does it only on start up to measure progress of the the
initial buffer accumulation before starting to stream. Isn't it better to let
queues handle buffering as a demuxer might not know how much data is already
available downstream? What is the purpose of these buffering messages in hls?
