This wasn't added so far because releasing is always allowed from a MediaController (as it just releases the connection, not the session player). But Player instances can be created for other purposes and the receiver of a Player instance should not always be allowed to call release if it doesn't own the player resource.

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.
