Yes, and IMHO that's appropriate.  If you've created an index file 
for a TS file, then that implies that you intend to support 'trick 
play' operations on it - therefore you don't want to stream it as if 
it were a live source.  I.e., the presence of the index file takes 
priority in figuring out what's intended.
