For example.

If i am listening to the ipod/radio, and then start playing something like, Tunein/poweramp etc, the headunit doesnt properly swap over. The Tunein/poweramp portion will be muted until I select the cafi music app and then pause whatever it starts playing. At this point I can now listen to tunein/poweramp.

Same thing goes for another scenario. If i am listening to Tunein and receive a phonecall, the call is muted unless i had prior swapped to the radio or pressed the phone button.

This is a fairly new issue and i have no clue what inspired this change of heart in the headunit. Any ideas?
I don't have that issue with PowerAmp. Might have to do with the dual zone functionality employed by the head unit. They need to persist the audio stream while you're in other apps (like GPS). Maybe their default apps create a "lock" on one of the audio streams?

Either way, it's odd because my unit doesn't exhibit the same behavior.
