Steps to reproduce

Please provide clear steps to reproduce your problem

Goto https://hls-js.netlify.com/demo/?src=https%3A%2F%2Fcsireb-test-8000.connectmedia.hu%2Fh264_master.m3u8.

If the bug is intermittent, give a rough frequency

About 1 out of 5 times.

Expected behavior

Live stream starts playing.

The same content works with any other hls players without troubles (I have tried with bitmovin player https://bitmovin.com/demos/stream-test, theo player https://demo.theoplayer.com/test-your-stream-with-statistics and kaltura playerhttp://player.kaltura.com/modules/KalturaSupport/tests/HLSPlaybackTester.html).

Actual behavior

The stream fails to start.

Console output

Seeing a lot of "dropping 1 audio frame @ due to xxx ms overlap". There aren't really any overlap in the audio stream. Also, the audio is synced to the video.

Thank you for the report @kqyang.

I imagine the first step would be to analyze the source stream to compare against what hls.js is computing as the timestamps when remuxing. If you could retrieve a snapshot of the livestream when you run into the error that would really help understand what's happening.
