Incorrect playback status when using other media apps

Checklist

• [x] I read the troubleshooting guide before raising this issue

Current bug behaviour

When I use audiolayers to play audio, I open other media applications (such as Apple music), and the audiolayers stop playing. When I switch back to my own application and get the playing status through audioPlayer.state, it is still PlayerState.playing.

Expected behaviour

The current status should be PlayerState.paused

Steps to reproduce

1. use audiolayers to play audio;
2. open other media playing applications. At this time, audiolayers play has been paused.
3. return to audiolayers to query the playing status

Environment information

• audioplayers version: 1.2.0

• OS name and version: iOS 16.1.2
• Device: iPhone11

• build mode: debug

In version 5.1.0, I am also experiencing the same issue. Is there any way to restore the playback state?

I think we didn't consider or test this use case. Ideally the native platform should send a pause event or some of that kind.

use audio_servicesync status

We should fix this in our lib anyways. I'll keep it open.
