[Bug]: Android Auto - Audio stops at end of chapter

[Narflar]

What was the Problem?

When listening to an audiobook via Android Auto, the audio stops playing at the end of a chapter. The book appears to continue playing due to the timer advancing. Skip back and forward seem to work based on the timer but no audio. I have to pause the playback for about 10 seconds and then restart to get audio to resume.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Using Android Auto, select an audiobook that is m4b format with multiple chapters. Listen from the beginning of one chapter until the next. The audio should stop but the display will continue to show that it is still playing.

What was Expected?

I would expect the audio to not be affected by chapters. When listening on my headphones and not using Android Auto everything plays fine and progresses though the chapters without any pause in audio.

Additional Notes

I have seen this happen on two different phones, pixel 7 pro and Pixel 7 This has also occurred in two different vehicles.

Both times with different audio books, although both are m4b format.
