When hardware buttons are used to control the volume of the remote device, the call propagates to `MediaSessionCompat.setPlaybackToRemote(volumeProviderCompat)`. However, `volumeProviderCompat` was created incorrectly when the new device volume commands were present (COMMAND_SET_DEVICE_VOLUME_WITH_FLAGS and COMMAND_ADJUST_DEVICE_VOLUME_WITH_FLAGS), i.e. with volumeControlType = `VOLUME_CONTROL_FIXED`. This resulted in `VolumeProviderCompat` which doesn't call `onSetVolumeTo` or `onAdjustVolume` and hence doesn't propagate the calls to the `Player`. Instead, it only worked with the deprecated commands which ensured the volumeControlType was `VOLUME_CONTROL_ABSOLUTE`.
This bug was introduced in c71e4bf1ff (1.0 media 3 release) when `PlayerWrapper`'s call to `createVolumeProviderCompat` was mostly rewritten to handle the new commands, but the two if-statements were not amended. Note: this change fixes the bug only for Android 11 and below. For 12 and above, there is a tracking bug for the regression that was introduced: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/201546605http://Issue: androidx/media#554
