Request: Maintain Proper Audio Session ID Support for Android (Third-Party Equalizer Compatibility)

Please ensure that the correct Audio Session ID continues to be exposed in upcoming Android releases of the Spotify app.
This information is essential for third-party audio processing tools — such as equalizers and DSP applications — which rely on the active session ID to attach their effects through the Android audio pipeline (AudioEffect API / AudioSession APIs).

When the session ID is not correctly broadcast or changes unpredictably, external audio effects cannot bind to the playback session, causing incorrect initialization or complete failure of audio processing. Maintaining stable and accurate session ID reporting ensures full compatibility with system-level and third-party audio effects across Android devices.

I also want to express my appreciation: Spotify is currently the most reliable streaming service in terms of Audio Session ID handling. As an Android developer and creator of equalizer apps published on the Play Store, I consistently recommend Spotify inside my apps because it offers the best integration with advanced audio processing. Thank you for the excellent work so far — I hope this level of support can continue in future versions as well.
