UNKNOWN

The route is not resolvable yet.

This is normal before playback, not an error: Android's AudioTrack.getRoutedDevice() returns null until the track has been initialized and routed, so a player that has not played yet reports UNKNOWN. It also covers a released player and a platform that exposes no routing information at all. Treat it as "no route-specific correction applies" rather than as a failure — guessing a route here would apply a correction on the strength of nothing.
