React-native-sound: Handling sound interruptions

[jamesmead]

Thanks for the library!

Does anyone know if this module handles sound interruptions such as incoming calls etc?

I have a simple app that plays audio in the background, however when there is a call or the alarm runs, the playback of the sound file stops.

I have enabled background mode and my sound category settings are as follows:
Sound.setCategory('Playback', false)

Wondering the same thing. When I activate Siri or get a phone call the audio stops, but I would love to have a handler where I could appropriately respond to that stop.

I'm having this issue, too. Would like to have playing stop when there's an incoming call and then resume when the call is finished.

Hi, guys!
I changed to specification to pause when I put out the headphone jack from my device or received a call.

But I don't know other people needs to "resume" or "stop" when that time.
That's why there is not resume on my branch.
If you want to catch only incoming calls status, I think better using another library.

Are there any event handlers that can be used to handle interruptions?
