Yes that is probably a valid and common scenario, so we probably need
to change the code to update the session when this happen but
apparently there is no way to notify the remote device about this
since the concept of players and EVENT_AVAILABLE_PLAYERS_CHANGED was
introduced only on 1.4. So for 1.3 we might have to pretend we have a
player without any metadata and as soon as one is registered we
assigned it to the active session and notify the metadata has changed
via events.
