Android Bug: Playback stutters after pressing pause button on headphones

[stromme]

I’ve observed this with a Google Pixel and Apple Headphones and ChinesePod version 2.0.7. Not sure if it happens with other hardware/software combinations.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Plug in Apple headphones with inline remote (e.g. the headphones that come with an iPhone 6) to a Google Pixel
2. Start a chinesepod lesson
3. Lock the screen
4. Press pause on the headphones’ remote

Expected behavior:
Lesson should pause

Observed behavior:
Lesson goes into a pause/resume loop, pausing and resuming every second or so. The only way to get out of it is to kill the app.

Thanks for the feedback,
