AwesomePlayer: Separate cache buffer watermarks for offload audio

- Using normal playback cache watermarks for offload playback leads to
cache underruns & buffering pauses resulting in choppy audio.
- Add new properties to define cache hi/low watermarks for offload audio.
- Calculate cache buffer levels only based on size for offload audio.
