Description

Use case description

Preload multiple MediaSources simultaneously so that playback of any of them can start immediately in a single ExoPlayer instance.

Proposed solution

It appears the implementation can be similar to DefaultPreloadManager by using PreloadMediaSource. Parallel preloading could be implemented instead of sequential preloading. Are there any potential blockers to this approach?
