Bug Description
This bug is to document the work and feature introduced in Oxide by 1.8, to support background playback of audio streams via the Media Hub.
The feature was actually merged in earlier, but has been really compiled in by default starting with 1.8.
Technically, the client application must set an environment variable to enable that "opt-in" feature. This is typically done by webapp-container on a per webapp basis. Audio streams are the supported case, but there is nothing preventing other streams like a video stream to be sent for background rendering. Only audio streams are supported by this feature though, as the results for video or other content types are not defined.
