 streaming video, not downloading it.

 Seems I never came back and updated this ticket after hearing back from
 the VideoPress team.

 tl;dr of it is:
  - If a video is transcoded into a HLS format, all videos for that video
 (excluding fmt_std, for compatibility) will have no embedded audio track
  - The best way forward here is to remove the download links for any video
 files which has been transcoded to HLS, which will likely leave us with
 just the original and perhaps low-quality versions. We can't restore the
 previous behaviour for WordPress.tv
