librespot has already switched to not using rustls' new default crypto provider aws-lc-sys as of github.com/kingosticks/librespot@24bbc6314c .

spotify-player should follow. aws-lc does not even work on a lot of platforms.

With this diff, I still get the aws-lc-sys dependency pulled in on OpenBSD, but at least the application works now.
