 * Determines whether the player should perform an explicit initial seek to 0.
 *
 * In most cases, a media element starts at position 0 and no initial seek is
 * needed. The exception is Safari when playing HLS streams: the native player
 * may start at the live position instead of 0, so performing an explicit seek
 * ensures the player starts from the intended initial position.
 *
 * @returns {boolean} `true` if an explicit initial seek to 0 should be performed.
