There was a problem hiding this comment.
Excellent thank you.
I was going to comment that there is quite a big caveat on "if playback should be smooth and power efficient." - the method relies on statistics being gathered, so when you first try it the method really only allows checking for codec type (all supported configs report as performant and smooth until after the connection has run for a bit).
But this is corrections, so out of scope.

As far as we can tell, the Media Capabilities API page and guide make some claims about the API that are unsupported. This PR removes them.
