I really don’t understand this argument. If you want to stay as close to the live edge as possible, why the heck wouldn’t you call play() immediately after your appends complete?

This is the Faustian Bargain that you make when you adopt MSE. You must take full responsibility for all networking, including all networking adjacent activities, such as predicting when media is sufficiently buffered and the network is sufficiently fast to allow media to play back uninterrupted.
