Small player to repro issue

When playing the following iHeartRadio stream:
https://c5.prod.playlists.ihrhls.com/1469/playlist.m3u8 the following problems
occur:
- Start up time is a few seconds even on a fast connection
- Playback stutters and buffers very often
- Playback stops often
- After a certain point, playback discontinues indefinitely

See attached file for code reference. This was tested on a Raspberry Pi 3
device using Raspbian (Debian) OS using alsa drivers.

Other audio-only HLS streams were tested (e.g. Groove music) and they seemed to
work fine. This looks specific to iHeartRadio streams.
