Comment (by Mitch Capper <mitch.capper@…>):

 dekarl commented that he thought audio separate streams may have been new
 in 1.4.  It is supported in older (specifically mentioned in 1.3
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-13) with older
 ones still supporting alternate audio streams (back to 1.0
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-10).

 I guess maybe it is best to remove the audio-only stream from the
 playlist?  As mythtv doesn't support multiple audio/video bitrates
 encoding the audio in the video file and not providing a second audio only
 track does not seem detrimental (this also would explain why some clients
 show two audio tracks for HLS live streaming).

 If we want 100% back compat it could be a flag in the initial
 AddLiveStream request.
