Can we give this a better name than just the interface it's implementing?
perhaps "SwitchingMediaRenderer" or something.

Done.

This API's kind of interesting... is it possible we'll ever need more renderers?
If so, what about an API that took pairs of "::media::Renderer,
base::Callback<bool(void)> use_renderer_if_this_returns_true" ?

Alternately, this could be conceptually simplified by just taking two
::media::Renderer instances. There's no reason to tie the API to CmaRenderer
specifically. If you did that, it'd probably be okay to leave this file in
chromecast/media/base/, since it no longer depends on chromecast/media/cma/.

Yes, the only reason I used CmaRenderer here explicitly was to get some minimal
type-checking and make it impossible to give the parameters in the wrong order.
But since this unnecessary dependency on CmaRenderer creates some issues, we can
switch to generic media::Renderer.
I think we should look into refactoring the whole media renderer creation model
in WebMediaPlayer, but that would need to be done in a separate CL.
