Access is package-private and it will allow the media controller logic to interact with the underlying platform session directly if needed. Interop: When a MediaController connects to an older session (before this change), it won't get the platform token from the session directly. Many controllers will be set up with a platform or compat token though and we can simply keep the already known token and use it. The only cases where we still don't have a platform token in the MediaController are the cases where the controller is created with a SessionToken based on a ComponentName.

Session module
This module provides media session functionality through which media information and controls can be exposed to the Android platform, as well as to other processes and applications.
Getting the module
The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:
implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-session: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.
