Proposed change
Expose the existing media_player.async_browse_media method as a service call with a return value.
The purpose is to allow automations to access the service to browse for media (just as you can do from the UI) and then use the return values to do other actions. As an example, here is an automation that gets a list of the albums by the Beatles and randomly plays one. This is using a Sonos music library.
Here is a sample of the YAML returned when running the browse_media service from developer tools / services
