ibaker 01c814e2f0 Mark all public 'rarely used' IntDefs as only TYPE_USE
This is a breaking change if the annotation itself is in use in Kotlin
code. It's judged that the IntDefs in this commit are unlikely to be
referred to often in Kotlin code. This is because they're either:
- Related to esoteric parts of the library, or
- In a common part of the library but only returned from methods (and
  never passed to callback methods).

A follow-up change will fix the positions of existing usages to match
this new config.

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.
