Expo Video with bare React-Native, does not work with Android 5.1 and below

Question

I was able to setup and use expo video in my bare react native project. It is working great for latest versions of IOS and androids. Unfortunately it does not work with Android 5.1 or 5.0

I see no error in the debug console but with using Android Studio's LogCat I see the following native error

06-05 13:46:02.223 5024-5158/com.getsafeuikit E/AudioTrack: AudioFlinger could not create track, status: -12

I am using expo Video like this

<Video
        source={{ uri: props.sourceUri }}
        ref={videoRef}
        shouldPlay={props.autoPlay}
        useNativeControls
        onPlaybackStatusUpdate={onPlaybackStatusUpdate}
        resizeMode={RESIZE_MODES[props.resizeMode || 'contain']}
        onFullscreenUpdate={({ fullscreenUpdate }) => {
          if (
            fullscreenUpdate === Video.FULLSCREEN_UPDATE_PLAYER_WILL_DISMISS &&
            props.onCloseFullScreen
          ) {
            props.onCloseFullScreen()
          }
        }}
      />
