Your use case

What would you like to do?

When I'm playing a music track in e.g. Spotify/Deezer, and start listening to an audio message in ElementX, I'd like the music to stop. Ideally, it'd stop only for the duration of the audio message, and resume afterwards; but it's OK if it just stops it.

Right now, it's not doing that, and it will play on top of the music track, which makes it super hard to listen to.

Why would you like to do it?

I can't hear to multiple tracks / audios at the same time, and I assume most people can't either.

How would you like to achieve it?

Bribing ElementX Android developers into implementing it, by offering them pain au chocolat, or something along those lines.

Have you considered any alternatives?
