The end result with the current scope and download manager is already
"the click is installed".
The button that the user clicks for this to happen is currently
labeled "Install"
According to the latest designs I've seen it will be renamed to be a
price eg: "GBP 0.99" (in the case of paid apps), or "Free" (for the
rest).

I've not seen designs for this, but I agree that it makes sense not to
autoplay in this case. Unless the button is named "Play", in which
case I think streaming should happen, and download manager should not
be used.
