think about what that means from the SDK perspective, like if you were a Google Product manager and this was enabled.
now, imagine that the fart app did this and there was a bug where control of the audio wasn't being released properly? Now, imagine what your reaction would be if you were affected by this bug and you had to reboot your device because of the fart noise woudn't stop, wouldn't release the hardware and so no phone calls would get through, no other audio could be played,etc. Do you see why this will never,ever,ever be possible? You have two options: 1) use notifications that interrupt the audio stream 2) use the ADK and build custom hardware.
