   When I'm playing audio in the background, I can make & receive phone calls.   
   The audio cuts out, and the phone call takes over. When I hang up, the   
   audio plays again (I'm listening to a biography of Charles De Gaulle).   
      
   I thank you, for the team, for testing this feature out for micky and the   
   rest of us lurking. It seems each of us just needs to find one app that we   
   like that plays in the background, where you've shown many of them do.
