[BUG] "Exclusive Audio Mode" #1084
Description
Describe the bug
Ever since version 2.14, when FluentFlyout is running, there seems to be some kind of Exclusive Audio mode. When I play music on Spotify and then start a video, Spotify gets paused. Conversely, if I resume the music on Spotify, the YouTube video pauses.
It’s basically a bug, but it’s more like an option/feature that I would like to disable. The problem is that I can’t find any setting that I can enable or disable to control this behavior.

update 2.15 is awesome!
unfortunately, exclusive audio modes (foobar2k, amazon exclusive mode...) won't let the visualiser display anything. I know that it has to do with the exclusive mode - I have an hi-fi system and use bit-perfect playback - and i don't know whether that can be fixed or not.
