On Edge HLS playback stops after few seconds

[nerdbeere]

Description

On the new chromium-based Edge (Version 84.0.522.48, tested in macOS and Windows 10) certain HLS Streams stop playback after a few seconds.
This is reproducible on https://videojs.github.io/http-streaming/ with the following URL: https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/MI201109210084_1/m3u8s/f08e80da-bf1d-4e3d-8899-f0f6155f6efa.m3u8

Sources

So far I could only reproduce this issue with streams from bitmovin:

It appears that player never loads second segment of audio.

It appears to be not only bitmovin issue, this stream stops playing as well https://wowzaec2demo.streamlock.net/vod-multitrack/_definst_/smil:ElephantsDream/elephantsdream2.smil/playlist.m3u

[klipstein]

We were able to fix the issue by setting: { html5: { nativeAudioTracks: false }}

Looks liek a similar issue to videojs/video.js#6762 and the workaround seems to be to make sure that overrideNative is set
