Description
# Bug Report
## Problem
Files stored on the device which are accessed through `https://localhost` should start playing, but don't. Files play fine if accessed directly from the web. A simple Html5 player is able to play the file normally through `localhost`.
## Information
LogCat logs when playing file:

### Command or Code
Some code snippets that can be run in chrome console when inspecting device
Download sample wav file
```
(() => {
const fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
const TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = 30 * 1000;
const filePath = window.cordova.file.dataDirectory + "test.wav";
fileTransfer.download(
"https://github.com/prof3ssorSt3v3/media-sample-files/blob/master/jimmy-coffee.wav?raw=true",
filePath,
file => console.log(file.toURL()),
error => console.error(error)
);
})()
// returns: https://localhost/__cdvfile_files__/test.wav
```
NOT WORKING: Play file locally with cordova-plugin-media (This is the bug)
```
source = 'http://localhost/__cdvfile_files__/test.wav';
track = new Media(source, null, console.error, console.log);
track.play();
```
WORKING: Play file remotely with cordova-plugin-media
```
source = 'https://github.com/prof3ssorSt3v3/media-sample-files/blob/master/jimmy-coffee.wav?raw=true';
track = new Media(source, null, console.error, console.log);
track.play();
```
WORKING: Play file locally with html5
```
sound = new Audio("http://localhost/__cdvfile_files__/test.wav");
sound.play();
```

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the provided Media.js snippets on Android 8.1, then trace Media.startPlayingAudio and the native AudioPlayer path referenced by the logs. The work is done when a WAV file served through the local https://localhost URL plays through cordova-plugin-media as it does through HTML5 audio.
