 Don't know about that encoding in particular but I do know about HLS
standard having read it many times and writing a decoder.
The segment size indicated in the m3u8 is the maximum size that should be
seen in the entire stream. There is no hard requirements that all segment
sizes should be the same , just that they shouldn't exceed the maximum
segment size. And even that spec isn't always compiled with as I've seen
plenty of live streams using any sizes.

At the end of the day, the HLS stream is just a mpeg-ts stream, and if
you're seeing an AV sync issue, the problem is in the mpeg-ts container and
not the HLS which has nothing to do with AV sync.

If you're using master, there's a way to rebuild the original mpeg-ts
stream from the HLS one, providing the actual mpeg-ts stream would be
easier to track why there's an AV sync issue.
