Vlc Android becomes silent with bluetooth connection if it's not in focus
Description
If my phone is connected to my Bluetooth headset or my Car Audio System via bluetooth, when i try to listen to something with VLC and exit the application (so make it running in background), after 15-20 seconds the audio become silent (but the song is still playing as the timer goes foward!). When i re-enter on VLC, making it the main focus of the screen, the audio starts to work again.
Funny thing, if there is another application in background that uses constant audio cues (like turning information on Google Maps), VLC in background works perfectly. It seems that the audio buffer is not continuously filled if VLC it out of focus.
Expected behavior
Streaming the audio without becoming silent
