Well, if you can have something playing in the background say YouTube, and interact with another app using voice over, more power to you. I can't. I'm also not sure if the picture in picture app just has the picture, or if it actually would continue with the audio after you moved to another app. Good luck, if you do decide to go that way. Maybe you can try it out at an Apple Store before you lay out the bucks. Mary
