Option to allow other apps to capture Poweramp's audio (for AirPlay)

[BooFar]

Android 10 added a new feature which allows to capture the device's internal audio, provided the app producing this audio allows it. Currently, PA does not allow internal audio capture.

What I'm mostly after is this: There is a neat app called AirMusic which can cast your internal audio via many different protocols such as airplay and upnp/dlna. Rather than implementing all of these in PA it would be far easier to just allow its audio to be captured (this should be fairly simple to do). This could be an option somewhere in the advanced audio settings.

@BooFar this is enabled and works (unless your firmware is affected by shareId Android bug). Thanks!

Do you mean that it's already supposed to work in the current version?

[maxmp]

@BooFar exactly. If it doesn't work for you it's due to shareId bug (when multiple apps share same user id, Android may incorrectly apply some new permissions. Mostly due to the new Google devs not being aware of old rarely used Android functionality). This is fixed in the recent Androids and also can be probably mitigated by uninstalling unlocker and rebooting the phone (untested).

@maxmp Unfortunately, uninstalling all Poweramp-related apps, rebooting, and fully reinstalling only Poweramp did not resolve this.

@BooFar then only firmware update may help. It generally works on Android 13. BTW AirMusic doesn't work for me on any device with any player and any receiver - may be there is an issue with their current trial build.

@maxmp  It's just weird that this issue persists even after a full reinstall. It works no problem for every other app (that isn't known for blocking recording). I guess I'll just use another player when casting. Thanks anyway!

Airmusic works for me but there's a weird issue where the phone's volume needs to be above 0 BEFORE connecting in order for it to produce sound, otherwise it will remain muted even if you increase the volume after connecting.

Are you using the default Audio=>Output options in PA? Try OpenSL EQ first, but also worth trying AudioTrack and AAudio.

@andrewilley Tried all of them, no luck
