Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Show network speed indicator in the top bar to measure the download speed.
  2. Open a live stream in NewPipe with audio only: ~200-300 kB/s.
  3. Close NewPipe and switch to the same Youtube live through a browser (Brave).
  4. Choose the minimum resolution (144p): ~40 kB/s.

Expected behavior

The step 2 should show a data usage <40 kB/s and actually save data compared to a video live stream.

Actual behavior

The data usage remains high in NewPipe with audio only, even after 1 min.
