How it is used

Allowed values

Value	Meaning
`-1`	Last ad in the pod: The last slot of the pod, just before the content resumes.
`0`	Any ad in the pod: Any slot: no position guarantee on a request and no restriction on a bid. This is the default.
`1`	First ad in the pod: The first slot of the pod, right after the content stops.
`2`	First or Last ad in the pod: Either the first or the last slot, without saying which.

      "audio": {

  ]
}
