Apps (g maps, pocket casts, etc) shutting off when not in foreground

[E60351]

many apps that have the permissions to run in the background like navigation, podcast streaming, Lux, Battery Widget Reborn, etc are constantly shutting off while in use... am i alone with this issue?

Not exactly. If I'm playing music, then run another app that uses audio output, the music stops. The player keeps playing (IOW, if I return to it a minute later, it's played another minute's music), but there's no audio coming from it. A phone call will kill turn by turn instructions from a map app. Some hardware can only be connected to by one app at a time.

This isn't an S6 thing, it's an Android thing. (It may also be an iPhone and Windows thing - I don't have any of them to check it.)
