The AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH attribute in the EXT-X-STREAM-INF tag represents the average segment bit rate of the Variant Stream, while the BANDWIDTH attribute represents the peak segment bit rate of the Variant Stream. (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-23#section-4.3.4.2) Using the average bit rate instead of the peak bit rate for variant switching is more efficient and appropriate. Sometimes due to VBR encoding, the BANDWIDTH may represent a value way above the average bit rate, which could result to players not switching to that variant stream although network bandwidth is sufficiently available. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790821
