AudioPlayer status change during user interaction about alexa-smart-screen-sdk

Hi @zhaokai3000, we believe that this is the expected behavior. In the time between the interaction, the AudioPlayer will regain focus as AFML is unable to determine that a new directive will be sent from Alexa in the interim. This gap is likely to be very small on a more powerful device, but larger on a less powerful one. We will close this issue if you have no further questions.

Well, I could understand this, but the user experience is not so good and our tester think this is intruding sounds between interaction and should not happen.

Thanks a lot for reaching out. We acknowledge this as a design challenge with asynchronous management of audio and visual directives. As long as ducking is enabled, local player will continue playing media unless told by Alexa otherwise.
