Quiet Media Player Audio and Play Sound How to ?

Hi All,

I have been looking for ages now and cannot find a solution, anyone with an idea or a method would be doing me a massive favour.

I need to play a short audio mp3 file no longer than 30 seconds, what i need is to be able to mute/quieten any other audio/music while this is playing.

this needs to work in both Android and IOS i have tried

var file = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.resourcesDirectory, 'etc/' + filename);
    var sound = Titanium.Media.createSound({
        url : file.nativePath
    });
    sound.play();

and

var file = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.resourcesDirectory, 'etc/' + filename);
        var audioPlayer = Ti.Media.createAudioPlayer({
            url : file,
            allowBackground : true,
            autoplay:true
        });
 
        audioPlayer.start();
        audioPlayer.addEventListener('change', function(e) {
            Ti.API.info('State: ' + e.description + ' (' + e.state + ')');
            if(e.state == audioPlayer.STATE_STOPPED)
            {
                audioPlayer.release();
            }
        });

But no of them do what i require, the first one plays the audio with the music in the background and the other sample dose not play anything at all.

Thanks for your help. Regards Luke
