This flag was introduced to workaround a rounding error in Chrome
(probably in other browsers too).
Also although this flag avoids the first frame of a Period to be
dropped due to rounding error but it could cause the last frame of a
Period to be dropped.
Now that we use a high precision Period@duration, we do not expect to
see rounding errors any more. The player would be a better place for
the workaround even if it is still needed.

Instead, the actual earliest presentation time is used except for
the first segment if there is an offset between presentation time
(pts) and decoding time (dts).
Chrome (as of v66) reports dts instead of pts in buffered ranges in
MSE API. To avoid breaking Chrome, the earliest_presentation_time
of the first segment is set to its dts as Chrome does not like negative
values for
adjusted dts = dts + Period@start (0 for the first period)
- presentationTimeOffset (earliest_presentation_time).
Fixes#303.

Chrome internally uses time accurate to microseconds, which is
implemented per MSE spec (https://www.w3.org/TR/media-source/).
Generate Period@duration with better precision to avoid possible
buffered range gaps in Chrome (possibly other browsers too), which
may lead to other problems like playback stall.
