[Android App] Pause Music for Navigation

It looks like Subsonic is either not using or not using correctly the android AudioManager api. Other music playing apps such as Google Music and Pandora will pause or lower their volume significantly when a navigation alert comes in so that I can hear it and know the directions. Subsonic does not do this.

Here is an official response from a Google developer saying that apps need to use the api correctly to request audio focus:

Here is more info on the Audiomanager API:

If you need more help or info on this please contact me, I am also an Android developer.

Please consider making this change, I have missed many turns because I could not hear my notifications while I had subsonic playing and subsonic is my #1 music source in my vehicle.

Thanks!

This is essential to use Subsonic and Google Navigation together.

+1 for me as well. I actually missed a turn during a recent trip because of this.
