ExoPlayer allows controlling silence skipping by adjusting the silence duration that is removed by SilenceSkippingAudioProcessor. The default behavior with the default parameters for this component makes it hard to listen to content because it leaves almost no pauses. After this commit it is possible to adjust silence length that remains and shorten only long pauses.
