--- Comment #7 from Florin Apostol <florin.apostol at oregan.net> ---
In case @index attribute is missing and @indexRange is present, the spec
mandates that the index is inside the media segment. I believe isoff is the
only one that supports this.

There is a reason for downloading the index first. In case of switching
representations, the index is downloaded first in order to reposition the
stream. The media is downloaded starting from the current position. So, it
avoids re-downloading the elapsed media segment.

And the index is not downloaded twice. The
gst_dash_demux_stream_update_fragment_info function, in case of isombff, will
consider the media to start after the index ends, so it does not download the
index again.
