Description

### Description

After I opened up the media control settings in Pocketcasts the skip forward/back buttons disappeared. And there isn't any skip action to drag around to fix it.

Also I only see 2 buttons in the notification, but the settings suggest there should be 3.

### Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Observe skip buttons in the media notifications
2. Open settings to the media notification /Android auto page
3. Not sure if I even changed any settings before the buttons disappeared, but there are no skip options

### Screenshots or screen recording

_No response_

### Device, Operating system, and Pocket Casts app version

Google Pixel 7 Pro with Android 13

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing skip controls on Android 13 and tracing the media notification and Android Auto settings mentioned in the report. Done means the skip forward/back actions are available again and the notification shows the number of buttons promised by settings.
