Silly Question and Semi OT, I've been reading the HLS streaming documents
from apple and I know they "recommend" a fail back stream of 64k audio only
however what happens if no failback stream is provided? and is there a
simple way to test this without recompiling and patching?

http://www.apple.com.cn/developer/library/ios/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/StreamingMediaGuide/StreamingMediaGuide.pdf#page17

Personnaly for video I'd much rather it pause and wait for buffers to fill
then to get audio only, airvideo does a decent job at handling this
although they have their own player

Cheers,

Anthony
