Keep playing regardless of audio focus

Feature description:

Requesting feature to continue playback if another app requests audio focus. (Allow two media apps to output at the same time).

For example, play music on Symphonium, whilst listening to a podcast on Antennapod.

Presently, Symphonium provides “audio focus” settings to customise behaviour for short/notification interruptions (e.g. duck) but these do not apply in case of another media app.

If possible, please add an option to “disobey audio focus” and keep playing.

Problem solved:

Prevents playback interruption when other media playback occurs on the system.

Brought benefits:

Provides more granular control of audio focus changes.
