This wasn't added so far because releasing is always allowed from a MediaController (as it just releases the connection, not the session player). But Player instances can be created for other purposes and the receiver of a Player instance should not always be allowed to call release if it doesn't own the player resource.

Cast module
This module provides a Player implementation that controls a Cast receiver app.
Getting the module
The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:
implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-cast:1.X.X'
where 1.X.X is the version, which must match the version of the other media
modules being used.
Alternatively, you can clone this GitHub project and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in the top level README.
Using the module
Create a CastPlayer and use it to control a Cast receiver app. Since
CastPlayer implements the Player interface, it can be passed to all media
components that accept a Player, including the UI components provided by the
UI module.
