The initial version wont allow you to do that. It will just stop the
music player when playback starts and resume again when it stops. I did
do a little testing to see what would happen if I left the music playing
and started a recording playing and I ended up with both playing at the
same time. Changing the volume or muting TV also changed the music audio
though. Comment 12 from Matt on ticket #4222 seems to suggest that some
people will have problems if the music player is left running when
livetv/recording playback is started (probably depends on what sound
system is being used) so for now the music player will be stopped and
the audio output is released so as to not cause any conflicts.
