Same behavior occurs when the interrupt is performed with an incoming phone call.

snorp,
Is there any way we can make HLS consistent with normal playback? No matter it is in the background or not, it can continue playing.

Maybe? There is a limit to how much effort we should put into this thing, though. This is just a stopgap until we figure something else out or decide HLS is unnecessary (though I really think it's going to be the former of these options).
