After upgrade to exoplayer 2.13.x onwards, the live playback speed became variant speed between range [0.97, 1.03], even for normal non-low latency live stream.

• ExoPlayer version number
  Tested with 2.13.3

• Android version
  android 11

• Android device
  Samsung SM-P610

Since the 2.13.0, exoplayer introduce DefaultLivePlaybackSpeedControl.java, getAdjustedPlaybackSpeed function looks check

DefaultLivePlaybackSpeedControl.java
if (mediaConfigurationTargetLiveOffsetUs == C.TIME_UNSET) {
return 1f;
}
and mediaConfigurationTargetLiveOffsetUs = C.msToUs(liveConfiguration.targetOffsetMs);

Because of DASH's DashMediaSource.java updateMediaItemLiveConfiguration logic
private void updateMediaItemLiveConfiguration(long nowInWindowUs, long windowDurationUs) {

Based on current implementation DashMediaSource targetOffsetMs's can not be TIME_UNSET any more, that means all live stream will play live stream with variant playback speed.

@christosts @marcbaechinger - Could we reconsider the decision to enable variable playback speed for non-LL streams? I still don't think it's really expected, in general.
