[iOS] In-app volume controls the device ringer volume instead of media volume

(#2173) Bug Confirmed mobile

Observed behaviour

It uses and controls the ringer volume (I almost missed my alarm because I turned the volume off thinking it was for media :blobworried:) - this is a reopen as it's still reproducible but inconsistent

Reproduction steps

  1. Open Fluxer
  2. Open your control center and look at the volume pill
  3. Close Fluxer
  4. Look at the control center volume pill again

Can reproduce CR; media volume only gets used when a video or sound is already playing rather than the expected behavior even without. Version 1.0.0, Beta 63, Channel Beta, Build 70, iOS 26.6.1 (arm64), Device iPhone17,4, Locale en-US, Push apns, Flutter 3.47.3, Dart 3.13.3
