Why is category removed from TTS.IOptions?

[randnetdd]

Category has been removed from TTS.IOptions in commit fafba8c.

Why is this change?

The category option is a flag required to mute TTS when the mute mode is turned on on the iPhone.

    NSString* category = [options objectForKey:@"category"];

    [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setActive:NO withOptions:0 error:nil];
    if ([category isEqualToString:@"ambient"]) {
        [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient
                                         withOptions:0 error:nil];
    } else {
        [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback
                                         withOptions:AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionDuckOthers error:nil];
    }

Thank you,

Hi

It looks like the default playback category was chosen to match the mute switch category. And this is a problem for me.
I'm trying to play some text when the iOS device has the mute switch turned on, and there is no sound. It is only played when the switch is off.

Any changes to get this category selection back?

Thanks in advance.
