Add AudioSource media type for plugin sources#1786
Merged
Conversation
Mirror the server's new AudioSource MediaItem so plugin sources (Spotify Connect, AirPlay receiver, Snapcast, VBAN, …) surface as first-class browseable queue items. The player OSD honours the per-source capability flags and hides controls/views that don't apply.
Match the models-repo cleanup: those members don't fit the source-control contract — SELECT and VOLUME live on dedicated plugin hooks, STOP has no cross-plugin meaning.
PlayBtn no longer disappears when the active source lacks play/pause support — instead it swaps Pause for Stop while playback is running so the user always has a way to terminate. Triggered by AudioSource items without can_play_pause, source-list entries that don't advertise it, and radio streams.

Summary
Mirrors the server's new
AudioSourceMediaItem so plugin sources (Spotify Connect, AirPlay receiver, Snapcast, VBAN, Yandex Ynison, …) surface as first-class browseable queue items instead of being injected into each player'ssource_list. The player OSD reads per-item capability flags (can_play_pause,can_seek,can_next_previous) so only the controls the source actually supports are rendered.
