--- Comment #6 from youenn fablet <youennf at gmail.com> ---
I was able to reproduce.
My understanding is that AudioContext gets interrupted/uninterrupted in case of getting backgrounded.
HTMLMediaElement::shouldOverrideBackgroundPlaybackRestriction has a special behavior to override background interruption in some cases, like when playing an audio track.

We could apply the same rule for AudioContext given there is no way the realtime data could be played again when resuming.

We have a somewhat inconsistent behavior as a track created from AudioContext will allow a media element to keep playing, but the AudioContext being paused, it would play silence.

I would tend to allow AudioContext to override interruptions in case the page is capturing as AudioContext could be used to improve the audio data sent to other participants.
