Comment 4 for bug 1474018

This is indeed affecting Podbird (podcast app) users very much. Here is the conversation I had with Jim Hodapp about this,

<nik90> jhodapp: hey, I just noticed that when podbird is running in the background playing a online stream, if you open a number of apps such that you hit the memory limit where podbird is killed by the system, the playback also stops..Shouldn't media-hub prevent that?
<jhodapp> nik90, nope, when the client application goes away so does the media-hub playback session

<jhodapp> nik90, we may do what you said in the future after we get some additional lifecycle additions into UT
<nik90> jhodapp: hmm..so there is never a way to ensure that the playback continues regardless of the state of the system.
<tenleftfingers> nik90: I've noticed that problem. Playback will eventually stop when PodBird is in the background. Also, it doesn't resume playback from the right place (and sometimes it starts from the beginning again): https://bugs.launchpad.net/podbird/+bug/1449719
