           Summary: loosen media segment random access point constraint
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified

            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media Source Extensions

the current Media Source Extensions specification requires media segments to
begin with a Random Access Point (RAP).

some media formats, such as Apple's HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) require only that
media segments contain a RAP, not necessarily begin with one.  one possible use
case for this is encoders/packagers creating media segments of exactly N
seconds, where the segment boundary does not fall on a natural GOP boundary.

the constraint that media segments must begin with a RAP should be loosened to
require only that a media segment contain at least one RAP.
