[Feature] Permissions for ducking/background audio

[rgordon95]

Is the only solution for permissions to properly handle audio for this package to mute the playback of the waveform and use a callback to sync the progress with another package like expo-av or react-native-track-player so that it can properly be backgrounded/screen locked/other audio starts playing?

It seems like unnecessary complexity to have to have 2 audio players just to have a waveform and proper permissions controls and I think this package should implement the same permissions so as to not rely on a second.

@rgordon95 Can you please explain this bit more? What do you want to achieve?

[rgordon95]

Being able to listen to audio when the app is backgrounded

Thank you for clarification. We will look into this feature request.

Any update here?

If you won't allow background audio, I need to have a second library that plays audio and passes the currentProgress into the waveform for it to display in sync with the audio.
