ESPHome 2026.5.0 borks Audio completely #55

Description

Whenever the Alarm is supposed to play whether it is a MP3 file on a share or a Radio stream it reports:
Media reader encountered an error: ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED

First I thought it was a Network issue on my end, but downgrading to 2026.4.5 fixes it. ESPHome probably changed something with the media_player component.

I did try this from the ESPHome Documentation:
If you use codec_support_enabled on the speaker media player, drop it and use the pipeline format: setting instead (format: NONE includes all codecs, format: WAV matches the old none/false mode)
With no success.
