bachinger c9151c23a2 Include audio metadata with DefaultMediaItemConverter for Cast

This change adds more standard metadata fields to Cast metadata including the artwork URL that makes the cast device show the artwork in the Cast route dialog (https://screenshot.googleplex.com/uj4n4Jqd7it9bob) and the Cast device.

This change also discriminates between media with an audio MIME type and others. For audio MIME type the Cast metadata is set to MEDIA_TYPE_MUSIC_TRACK which changes the layout and shows artwork and additional audio meta data to be displayed (https://screenshot.googleplex.com/ASy3KDcsTdJDM2T).

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.
