I understand your point. Maybe I am not giving the answer to your point.
But nevertheless, here is my defence :)
In this patch, I am only fixing the issue of target duration not matching with 
the configured HLS segment duration. That is when configured segment duration 
is 1 second and the actual segment duration varies from 0.9 sec to 1.1 seconds, 
then it makes more sense to have target duration as 1 second instead of 2 
seconds. And spec allows both 1 seconds and 2 seconds as valid values. But 
having 1 second as target duration is better as it is the user configured value 
and is closer to the average duration. That is the reason I submitted 
http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-September/215630.html in first 
place.
Now as a side effect this also fixes TARGET-DURATION alignment problem of 
multiplaylist scenario, when the segment duration is an integral multiple of 
seconds. Even otherwise it works for most cases except for x.5 second segment 
durations, and the user doesn’t configure the I frames properly.
1) Theoretically audio duration will not match exactly with the video duration 
at every segment level, but it will average out in the long run. In your 
command instead of ‘-t 5’ if you give ‘-t 10’, then target duration is proper 
as segment durations has got averaged out. 
2) Also, most of the real use-cases is to have segment duration as integer 
multiple of seconds. Even in hlsenc the segment duration value is configurable 
only in seconds. So, a segment duration of 1.5 seconds, 2.5 seconds etc., is 
not yet used by everybody.

So my argument is that this patch fixes target duration issue for audio-only 
streams and the multiplaylists for majority of the real world use-cases. Some 
other corner cases for multiplaylist issue is still not handled, which could be 
handled in a different patch if someone has a real use-case for it. Anyways 
this patch is required to solve my original issue of “target duration for 
audio-only streams not matching the configured segment duration”.
