Simultaneous sounds

This is slightly similar to this very old question but not the same: https://together.jolla.com/question/129538/why-cant-my-jolla-play-two-sounds-simultaneously/

I have noticed recently that it seems a lot off programs that output sounds don't seem to play nicely together, I don't know if this a configuration issue or something that sits deeper, programs that I played with:

  • Media/gPodder + MeeRun (native) - when MeeRun plays a notification Media/gPodder gets paused and does not resume
  • gPodder + Waze - Waze notifications are never played/heard
  • phone conversation + Waze - same as above, I can imagine that this is a personal preference but when I'm driving in a place I don't know I'd like to not need to look at the screen and endanger myself and everyone around me just because I am having a phone conversation.
  • Sailcast actually seemed to pause/resume well from what I remember but I switched to gPodder due to it being more well rounded.
  • AllRadio always seems to blow up when it starts failing but that may also just be the application.

As far as I'm concerned the Waze use case is probably the most important to a lot of users, the MeeRun case will probably be more variable.
