Audio doesn't pause for Google maps directions

Project Member Reported by owe...@chromium.org, May 10 2016

Issue description

1. Play an MP3 in Chrome and observe the notification showing that it's playing
2. Open Google maps and start navigation directions
3. Note how the voice on Google maps talks over the podcast, so you miss sections

The podcast apps I use pause the audio and start playing it again from ~1 second back to avoid this issue.

Depending on what signal Google Maps send, we might duck instead of pausing. Does your playback duck?

I will try to check what happens locally but I need to be outside for the Maps voice to kick in :)

I haven't noticed any ducking, but it wouldn't surprise me if there is some since I can hear the maps voice well. The user experience is that both play over one another.

Actually, despite having filed this I've noticed that other apps don't actually do that and it hasn't bothered me much. This may be WAI, or at least low pri.

Had a look yesterday and it is indeed working as intended. We used to pause when interrupted but we don't anymore because videos would behave weirdly. We could have behaviour depending on the content being played but we would prefer to leave this to an API.
