Also this would only solve ONE single problem brought up. Your design still leaves the preload time up to pure luck.
If you really need to know a minimum preload time, put it in a protocol header or in the spec for the broadcast constraints.
An info packet field for bitrate information, including minimum preload, would be totally acceptable too if you like.
The preload changes depending on buffer fullness thus is not constant over a stream.
