I'm writing a webapp that uses the HTML 5 audio tag to play back mp3 Shoutcast streams.
With the stock Android browser (and Safari on iOS), I can lock the phone and the sound keeps playing indefinitely. With Android Chrome (I'm running v31 on Android 4.1.2), if I lock the screen or background the app to do other stuff, the audio plays for a couple of minutes and then dies.
Is this a known issue with Chrome or am I missing something?
