I think it's supposed to hand it over to the adaptive demux in the main
case. But I have concerns that it can interfere in some ways.

About that, I tried https://www.youtube.com/user/ABCNews/live which
works fine with youtube.lua and the adaptive demux. I'm a bit confused
because the ytdl-extract.py helper script returns a single ytdl:// URL,
so I wanted to check that there's no issue here.
