music playback mutes on app switching

If you do the same thing but for steps 3) and 4) you go back to the home screen first then select the other app the music still plays. There must be something in the gesture of swiping an app out of focus (right to left) that causes this.

I've just tried and couldn't reproduce. There were some related issues before, so marking as Fix released, please reopen if you find this happening on a current image (trusty 3 at the moment).

Flashed Touch 14.04(r5). Bug still present on mako atleast. Bug reproduced by following steps above.
Please release fix soon :)

Still not fixed. Bug is a little annoying. Please fix soon :)

I too can confirm this with 14.04 r5 on mako.

All, just a reminder that this bug is still valid on 14.04 r10 on mako. Is this truly a Mir issue? App switching via swiping from the left and selecting a different running app does not cause this. The bug is only present when swiping from the right to cycle through the running apps.

Fix committed into lp:unity-mir at revision 153, scheduled for release in unity-mir, milestone phone-v1-freeze

This bug was fixed in the package unity-mir - 0.2+14.04.20131128.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity-mir (0.2+14.04.20131128.2-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  * Install ServerStatusListener to be notified of mir server start, pause
    and resume. Use start notification to send SIGSTOP signal to upstart,
    so it knows mir is ready for other clients.
  * Bump version number
  * InputArea: don't use lambda function as slot, can cause crash on
    shutdown Using lambda function as slot can introduce crash as the
    slot's object deletion is not registered unlike with traditional
    signal/slot connections. As a result, on signal emission, the lambda
    can be called on a deleted object. (LP: #1253685)
  * Misc fixes for Mir 0.1.2 support. (LP: #1254986)

  [ Alan Griffiths ]
  * ApplicationSession is a Mir implementation class that shouldn't be
    used by unity-mir, use shell::session instead.

  [ Kevin Gunn ]
  * mir server abi and api broke, updating dependency to deb 0.1.1.
  * update mir deb build dep to 0.1.2

  [ Victor Thompson ]
  * Fix mir to not suspend the music-app, or any other app granted a
    lifecycle exception, when switching between apps. (LP: #1241185,
    #1241045)

  [ Daniel van Vugt ]
  * Force the screen to redraw after turning the display back on (LP:
    #1255045). Also stop the compositor when the screen is off.
    Otherwise it will spin in the background, eating battery. (LP:
    #1255045)
