Comment (by humdinger):

I can't reproduce this as it is described. MediaPlayer only plays at a
lower volume when in background (and activated in the settings) if there
are more than one MediaPlayer windows running. If you have just one
MediaPlayer and switch to any other app, it keeps playing with the set
volume.[[BR]]

This feature is nice for demonstrations, where you open 12 videos and a
few audios. The audience isn't overwhelmed and can concentrate on the
thing having focus. For everyday use, it's not an issue because you either
only have one MediaPlayer running at a time anyway, or you disable the
feature via its setting.[[BR]]
It could be argued to disable it by default, I guess.
