This behavior was previously available as opt-in via `MediaItem.DrmConfiguration.Builder.setPlayClearContentWithoutKey` and `DefaultDrmSessionManager.Builder.setPlayClearSamplesWithoutKeys`. This change flips the default of both these properties to true. This should speed up the time for playback to start when playing DRM content with a 'clear lead' of unencrypted samples at the start. Previously playback would wait until the keys for the later encrypted samples were ready. The new behaviour could result in mid-playback stalls/rebuffers if the keys are not ready yet by the transition from clear to encrypted samples, but this is not really a regression since previously playback wouldn't have started at all at this point.

ExoPlayer module
This module provides ExoPlayer, the Player implementation for local media
playback on Android.
Getting the module
The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:
implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer: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.
