See AC issue.

GV (and desktop) shows inconsistent behavior when handling links to media files.
Depending on the media type, GV may initiate playback of the media file within the session or prompt for download of the file.
In the former case, no Media Session events are produced.

We should discuss whether this behavior, which seems consistent with desktop's, is ideal on mobile or whether we should look into changing it to a more consistent behavior, e.g., always prompting for download if the linked content is a media file and not HTML.
