Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/kokarare1212/librespot-python/issues/318

Describe the bug
RuntimeError from "load_track" in "audio/init.py". Got it using deezspot, and retried directly in librespot-python with same code as #315 (original issue: jakiepari/deezspot#8).

To Reproduce

>>> from librespot.core import Session
>>> session = Session.Builder().stored_file("./credentials.json").create()
>>> from librespot.metadata import TrackId
>>> track_id = TrackId.from_uri("spotify:track:07qo9gnLM488CUr0EtgIA1")
>>> from librespot.audio.decoders import AudioQuality, VorbisOnlyAudioQuality
>>> stream = session.content_feeder().load(track_id, VorbisOnlyAudioQuality(AudioQuality.NORMAL), False, None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/path/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/librespot/audio/__init__.py", line 722, in load
    return self.load_track(playable_id, audio_quality_picker, preload,
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/path/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/librespot/audio/__init__.py", line 774, in load_track
    raise RuntimeError("Cannot get alternative track")
RuntimeError: Cannot get alternative track

Expected behavior
I did not expect an exception

Client Information (please complete the following information):

OS: Ubuntu (WSL)
Python Version 3.12.3
Library Version 0.0.9

Also experiencing this error, on windows with Zotify, curious to see if there's a fix soon.
