With Oreo and later, Bluetooth control buttons may kill FFA if it is
not the foreground application. Once this happens to resume playback,
one needs to restart playback from the phone, rather than the
play/pause action of Bluetooth headset.
For example:
D MediaSessionService: Sending KeyEvent { action=ACTION_UP, keyCode=KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY, scanCode=0, metaState=0, flags=0x0, repeatCount=0, eventTime=0, downTime=0, deviceId=-1, source=0x0 } to audio.funkwhale.ffa.dev/audio.funkwhale.ffa.dev (
