For non-live streams, aggressively reusing the existing cached data is a
very good thing, and allowed by the spec, so we do it. The problem here is
that we don't actually know if a stream is live or not.  Perhaps we should
disable that optimization for non-seekable streams.

you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your
slave — just

life as a ransom for many.” [Matthew 20:25-28]
