I listen to a lot of audio books, and for those who don't mind older literature a surprisingly good app for content is LibriVox. Unfortunately the app's functionality not so much. If you pause playback for more than a few seconds, the app loses focus, after which playback can only be resumed by via the screen. This isn't always convenient or considerate of someone else who may be sleeping in the same room. And since I live in a state where it's still legal to wear both earbuds while driving, I can add that it isn't always safe to use a screen. There are lots of times when I'm listening to a book and need to unplug my ears and/or put down the phone for a few minutes. Just about every other audio app I've used will hold audio focus for a minute, an hour, all day, or beyond; but LibriVox drops it after a couple of seconds.
Since LibriVox' developers seem to be disinclined to fix this, I got to wondering if there's another app or perhaps a widget that can fix this. Is there any possible way to "force" an app to retain audio focus, without developing a new app on my own?
