The Xbox has a function to allow audio apps to play in the background while you play a game.  It would be great if ET could support this while playing audio.

What's happening now, is the app just closing? We have declared background media playback support and followed their examples for it.

Yes, it plays for about 20 seconds and then stops.  I get the same thing in Ember so I honestly wasn't sure if it was possible.

Does this mean the overlay is supported now, or is it just background audio?

Right now I'm not sure either. The overlay feature is still insider only unless I'm mistaken. Once it is in the Xbox OS then we'll look at spending more time on it.

That would explain why Beam is pretty much the only app that supports it at the moment
