Description

Hi,

When using the Deezer app, removing my right AirPod skips to the next song, and removing my left AirPod skips a lot of songs.

This does not happen in other apps.

Automatic Ear Detection is on, turning it off solves the problem.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how automatic ear detection events (AirPod left/right removal) are handled in the playback controller. Trace the code path from sensor event to skip action, and check if left/right events are correctly distinguished.
