Hi Duncan,

I had already ported the most important patches to master, I've posted them here:
https://github.com/rawoul/gst-plugins-bad/commits/hls

This branch also includes some modifications to work with buffer lists for better performance. With all those patches the reference streams from Apple [1] work better.

I've also posted my proof-of-concept demuxer here, which handle multiple renditions better:
https://github.com/rawoul/pochlsdemux

A lot of features are missing though (see TODO), I might work on it again if the stream selection API is ever implemented.
