Before and after the patch, struct playlist do take multiple media
initialization sections into consideration. However, I think it doesn’t
work for HLS as a whole. To support multiple media init sections, it
needs to handle EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY and recreate mp4 demuxer.

So even if new media init section is show up, it will be downloaded and
then dropped by mp4 muxer:
```
    if (c->found_moov) {
        av_log(c->fc, AV_LOG_WARNING, "Found duplicated MOOV Atom. Skipped it\n");
        avio_skip(pb, atom.size);
        return 0;
    }
```

What the patch does is to avoid downloading the same init sections again
and again, and then dropped by mp4 muxer. It’s common to have init section
repeat in live mode.

Just for reference, hls.js had the same issue, and have been fixed by
