Audio renditions broken in ios 26

Description

a simple HLS variant with alternate audios is incorrectly initialized on iphone with ios 26.3, thus unable to switch audio track.

it's appear to be random, non constant problem.
as much master m3u8 simpler - it often occur (original bipbop with a lot of subtitles - unable to reproduce. another foreign playlist with a few subtitles - able to reproduce)

ps:
seems like it can be ios 26 problem, but any workaround is needed.
also, i can't reproduce it with hlsjs demo page.

Reduced test case

https://vps1.caspy.ru/audio_track_test/bipbop_simple.html

Steps to reproduce

1. open url on iphone with ios 26.3, start play
2. see under player or in console.log, that audio tracks initialized with duplicating ids
3. tracks are unable to switch

if loaded in a good way, just reload. problem is not constant.

as much as master m3u8 is simpler - problem easy to reproduce.

Errors

console.log() of tracks from player.audioTracks()
as you can see - id is duplicated.

Start with the reduced test case at https://vps1.caspy.ru/audio_track_test/bipbop_simple.html on an iPhone running iOS 26.3, using Video.js 8.23.4. Inspect player.audioTracks() and the console output for duplicated track IDs, then verify that the audio tracks initialize with distinct IDs and can be switched reliably.
