boost-app opened a new issue #306: URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media/issues/306
# Feature Request Make this plugin able to mix with background audio from other apps. Support the audio ducking feature as well. ## Motivation Behind Feature The plugin currently supports only the AVAudioSessionCategories `AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback` & `AVAudioSessionAmbientSolo`. This makes it impossible to mix the apps audio with e.g. music coming from spotify in the background. ## Feature Description The `startPlayingAudio()` should accept an optional parameters `mixWithBackgroundAudio` and `duckBackgroundAudio` for this along the lines of the already accepted `playAudioWhenScreenIsLocked`. When the parameters to mix with other audio is set to true the AVAudioSessionCategory should be set to `[self.avSession setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient withOptions:(AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionMixWithOthers, AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionDuckOthers) error:&err];` (and the audio ducking as well) ## Alternatives or Workarounds change the AVAudioSessionCategory by hand and install local version of this plugin -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
