I think I got it. setActive can be called with a second argument and it
seems to make all the difference. In all the tutorials I have seen, none
made use of it so I didn't know it existed yet - until I read the docs ;)
*try theSession.setActive(true, with:[.notifyOthersOnDeactivation])*
that tells the Music app to unpause when my audio is done. I put this stuff
into a function which seems to be working.
