Default the Fully Kiosk output codec to AAC (#6112)
# What does this implement/fix? <!-- Quick description and explanation of changes. --> Fully Kiosk aborts a long-lived MP3 stream after ~8m45s with "Failed loading sound: Wrong URL or unsupported format?" and then re-requests the stream url, so radio stations and long queues never play through. The server logs no error at that point - the client simply gives up and reconnects - and the reporter's A/B test on the same hardware showed AAC playing for over two hours where MP3 reproducibly failed within 9 minutes. Switch the provider default from MP3 to AAC. The entry stays visible and overridable rather than hidden/enforced, since Fully Kiosk runs on a wide range of Android versions. Config values equal to their default are not persisted, so existing players that never explicitly picked a codec pick this up too. As a bonus AAC should be same quality for less bandwidth. **Related issue (if applicable):** - related issue https://github.com/music-assistant/support/issues/6248 ## Types of changes <!-- Tick exactly one box.
