Description
Thought this problem had been squashed in the past, but a recent helpdesk ticket clued me in that it persists. Setting an audio mode WHILE the session is active is apparently not respected: So if we do the following:
var v = Ti.Media.createSound();
v = Ti.Media.createSound({audioPlaybackMode:...});
Then there's no guarantee that the audio playback mode will be set (the initially created sound is already 'taking up' our application's audio session). Note that the audio playback mode set for 'v' MAY be respected the next time a sound plays!
We need to work out a way to manage audio session(s) so that this issue can be avoided.
(from [cb2651aaac259b475a94a8845249d040cc6e28a2]) [#1802 state:fixed-in-qa] Changed how audio sessions are managed - they're now only claimed/released when sounds start/stop. Many improvements to audio tests. http://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/commit/cb2651aaac259b475a94a8845249d040cc6e28a2"> http://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/commit/cb2651aaac259...
Interestingly, audio streaming does NOT respect the audio session mode - you may play both a stream and a sound when the mode is SOLO_AMBIENT, for example. Mystifying, but this seems to be an Apple internal.
