Description
Hello,
I'm trying to play test stream with variant playlist with flashls. You can try [this link](http://www.flashls.org/latest/examples/chromeless/?src=http%3A%2F%2Fa.radio7.ru%2FgetAudioStream%3Fpp%3Dcl%26ps%3Dchw%26p2%3Dil%26pr%3Detqlqnx). This stream always has preroll at the beggining and start with out0.ts. As I see in network console it is downloaded but skipped on start playing. Sometimes it skips even two fragments.
Can you please check too, maybe something wrong with the playlist?
On the other hand it plays correctly and smoothly with [hls.js](http://dailymotion.github.io/hls.js/demo/?src=http%3A%2F%2Fa.radio7.ru%2FgetAudioStream%3Fpp%3Dcl%26ps%3Dchw%26p2%3Dil%26pr%3Detqlqnx&enableStreaming=true&autoRecoverError=true&enableWorker=true&levelCapping=-1&defaultAudioCodec=undefined).
It's critical for us because it makes impossible to use prerolls in HLS using flashls.
With regards, Andrey.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the stream from the flashls chromeless example link and inspect the network activity around the variant playlist's out0.ts fragment. Compare startup behavior with the linked hls.js demo; done means the preroll's first fragment is played reliably without skipping one or two fragments.
