Description
Expected behavior
That the File Picker on different Android devices and versions behave the same way when the Audio MIME types are passed.
Actual behavior
On most devices eg. Pixel 3, API 30, the System Picker works well with the specific MIME types passed and you are able to select files based on type whether it is video, image, or audio. However, on some devices like OnePlus 7T it's System Picker does not allow all Audio types to be selected. There's a detailed conversation about this on this PR.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Utilize a device like the OnePlus 7T.
- Switch to a PR that has the Audio Block.
- Add an Audio Block.
- Choose from device.
- Notice that not all Audio file types can't be selected.
Tested on OnePlus 7T, WPAndroid https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/pull/13612

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the Audio Block's device-picker flow on the OnePlus 7T and compare it with the Pixel 3/API 30 behavior, using the linked PR discussion as context. Done means supported audio MIME types can be selected consistently across the affected Android devices and versions.
