feat(player): enable audio offloading

[FineFindus]

Enables the AudioOffloading feature of the Exoplayer, which reduces power consumption and hopefully helps with issues like #2216.

I have not had time to fully test this yet.

Iirc it does not work with skip silence and speed adjustments

Sorry for hijacking this, but would it be possible to have skipsilence implemented the way NewPipe does it? What I mean is that they don't just cut which is quite jarring but ramp-up instead. AFAIK they're using ExoPlayer too

Hmm, that would be a bummer? I thought setIsGaplessSupportRequired and setIsSpeedChangeSupportRequired would be enough to be compatible with both features, it is also used in this configuration in other audio players that support both skip silence and speed change.

Ooh you are right! I did not check the pr properly, my bad.

I think these changes are dangerous nevertheless. Wdyt about a setting: Experimental audio Player
In the settings menu which enables these newer yet interested things?

[FineFindus]

I'm generally not a fan of settings for various reasons (IMHO they're often bad for both the user and the maintainer). Maybe it could be added as an experimental setting first, and after some time, if there are no problems, move to it being enabled by default?

[PaulWoitaschek]

Yep that was my idea

I've been trying to implement the settings, but due to me being inexperienced/not understanding the architecture/not being an android dev, I've had some trouble getting it to work. Would appreciate some help/pointers, otherwise I will take another look when I have some more time.
