Happens with a few apps. They'll all need updates. Asleep does it too.

It happens with many (but not all) apps with audio. aSleep has the same problem, as does Wunderradio, Custom Sounds of Nature, Custom Hypnosis, and MindWave. Pandora and AOL Radio work fine. Something to do with Apple's changes to Core Audio in the 2.2 update. I hope the app makers issue updates soon.

They changed the function of one of the audio session type names. Apps need to be updated to use the new session name.

Do you happen to reember which audio session name?

Copied from the "WunderRadio shuts off when asleep" thread...

Apple changed the way the AudioQueue works in 2.2, so that it suspends playback when your iPhone sleeps (shuts the screen off).

Fortunately there is a way to change your code easily so that your AudioQueue will continue in sleep mode. For any developers reading this forum- mikeln at iPhonedevSDK forums figured it out...
The default audio session for 2.2 has changed from:

kAudioSessionCategory_MediaPlayback

to

kAudioSessionCategory_SoloAmbientSound

It looks like programmers have to set the audio session as MediaPlayback explicitly, where previously it was assumed.

Much appreciated, thanks.

An update is available now that fixes this.

This effects Beejive too. It won't run when you lock your phone so it causes you to receive text messages (if you have this setup).
