Breaking change

Proposed change

The Google Generative AI integration fails to handle audio responses from the
new gemini-3.1-flash-tts-preview model because of a case-sensitive MIME type
check. The integration expects MIME types starting with audio/L (uppercase),
but the new model returns audio/l16; rate=24000; channels=1 (lowercase),
causing a HomeAssistantError: Unsupported audio MIME type.

This PR fixes all three case-sensitive checks in _parse_audio_mime_type by
using .lower() for comparisons and .upper() when splitting to extract
bits_per_sample, making the function work with both audio/L16 and audio/l16

Pull request overview

Fixes Google Generative AI TTS audio handling by making _parse_audio_mime_type treat MIME types case-insensitively, allowing the integration to accept audio/l16 responses from newer Gemini TTS models.

Changes:

  • Make the audio MIME type prefix checks case-insensitive in _parse_audio_mime_type.
  • Make the L## bits-per-sample parsing resilient to lowercase l in the subtype.
  • Add unit tests covering uppercase/lowercase MIME types and unsupported types.

File Description
homeassistant/components/google_generative_ai_conversation/helpers.py Adjusts MIME type parsing to be case-insensitive and correctly extract bit depth for audio/l16.
tests/components/google_generative_ai_conversation/test_helpers.py Adds regression tests validating parsing for audio/L16 and audio/l16 and failure on non-audio types.

Update the docstring to match actual behavior by describing the default values used when parsing fails instead of saying the values can be None.
