I think it's okay to leave this as it is because audio focus handling isn't enabled in this tutorial, but on the other hand the new method is quite easy to use so I wonder if we should be directing people to that. (Side note: I think it's also good practice to specify AudioAttributes for all playbacks, but the tutorial doesn't do that at the moment; if it did, then we'd also need to pass a boolean setting whether to enable/disable audio focus handling as ExoPlayer has a combined setter for both.)
