BaseStreamController always honor config.startPosition when attaching(recovering)

[kedanielwu]

What do you want to do with Hls.js?

In BaseStreamController, onMediaAttached callback always use config.startPosition to call startLoad(), regardless the playback status. Is this behaviour desired? I found it bit weried.

lets say I set startPosition to 90, and played for a while, then call the recoverMediaError() call will seek back to 90, shouldn't BaseStreamController.lastCurrentTime be used in this case?

What have you tried so far?

Using config.startPosition on attached is a "feature". While you need to clear or change the value before re-attaching the player, I can agree that this should not be the behavior when using recoverMediaError().

#6591 fixes this behavior for recoverMediaError().
