 Using fMP4 segments with strftime and hls_init_time produces segments
 which are too short and cannot be played back.

 Example call:

 {{{
 ./ffmpeg -y -i timer_1M.mp4 -acodec aac -b:a 64k -vcodec h264 -b:v 1M -f
 hls -hls_segment_type fmp4 -strftime 1 -hls_segment_filename '%%18d.m4s'
 -hls_flags second_level_segment_index+split_by_time -hls_time 0.6
 -hls_init_time 0.600001 index.m3u8
 }}}

 This produces a segment 000000000000000006.m4s which is only about a tenth
 of the size of the other segments. Running FFprobe on it, it seems to
 contain only audio, but no video frames.

 Removing the hls_init_time parameter from the command "resolves" the
 issue, i.e., the segments are then split correctly and have video frames.
