Previously we only enable `SeekParameter.*_SYNC` for HLS when `EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS` is set in the playlist. However, this condition can actually be loosened. To seek in HLS, we need to download the segment in which the resolved seek position locates under any circumstance. If `SeekParameter.PREVIOUS_SYNC` or `SeekParameter.CLOSEST_SYNC` is passed, and that segment happens to start with sync samples, then the seek can be done quicker with that adjusted seek position. And if that segment doesn't start with sync samples, then the behaviour will be the same as we set the adjusted seek position to the exact original position. But we still cannot safely enable `SeekParameter.NEXT_SYNC` as it will potentially cause the seeking to miss more content than seeking to the exact position.

ExoPlayer HLS module
Provides support for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) content in ExoPlayer.
Getting the module
The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:
implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer-hls: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
Adding a dependency to this module is all that's required to enable playback of
HLS media items added to ExoPlayer in its default configuration. Internally,
DefaultMediaSourceFactory will automatically detect the presence of the module
and convert an HLS MediaItem into an HlsMediaSource for playback.
Similarly, a DownloadManager in its default configuration will use
DefaultDownloaderFactory, which will automatically detect the presence of
the module and build HlsDownloader instances to download HLS content.
For advanced playback use cases, applications can build HlsMediaSource
instances and pass them directly to the player. For advanced download use cases,
HlsDownloader can be used directly.
