HLS / .m3u8 support for audioplayer

[af-twc]

Hey Chaintech-Network Team,
thanks for your hard work on the player. I would like to request support for playing HLS-Streams / .m3u8 files for the audioplayer aswell.

If I am going to try to play an audio stream with the audioplayer I receive an exoplayer error - While testing it with the VideoPlayer it works.

Playback error
