GraphQL API: Playback

Get current source for a device

Returns the current playback source for the specified device.  

• Get the short-lived audio URL of the current track.
• Retrieve metadata like artist, genre, album, of the current track.
• Get the progress frequency.
• Get the interactions available on the track.
• Get the feedback set on the track.

The source will be available for a limited time. An error will be returned when no source has been set on the device before.  

The source can be of different types which will require different logic.
