loading sequence screenshot

What I did:
play VOD content using Safari webkit HTMLVideoElement

Expected:
1. Video will play 
2. Content duration will be available immediately after the video is loaded
3. durationchanged event is fired only one time

Actual:
The contnet duration is updated continuously
durationchanged event is fired all the time, Each time the duration time is growing.

Observations:
The manifest includes muxed video and audio renditions
There is one rendition (#EXT-X-STREAM-INF) containing only audio for slow networks
The issue only happens when the following specific loading sequence happens:
1. master playlist
2. muxed av chunk list
3. audio-only chunk list load
4. 2 audio segments loaded 
5. muxed av chunk list
6. muxed segments loaded 

When the audio-only chunk list and segments not loaded the issue doesn't happen.

The sequence above can be shown in the attached screenshot.
Here the link to the har file of the session (250MB+):

This issue is sporadic and it's pretty difficult to reproduce it.
I did some device restarts to make it happened.
