I had thought the problem was partially resolved but nope, I'm still seeing music start playing when I try starting and stopping playback in Downcast. For the record, I do not have the music app open when this occurs. I'll try opening it as well, as you suggest below, to see if that changes the behavior.
For reporting this to Apple, is this something that affects everyone, or just Voiceover users? i.e. is two-finger double tap just a Voiceover gesture?

Hello Chris,
I just updated to the latest version of Downcast, released today, and cannot reproduce the problem you describe. That is to say, a two-finger, double-tap, does, indeed, stop and start playback of the current podcast episode, as it has always done.
As for the random incidence of music being played as the result of the two-finger, double-tap gesture intended for a third-party app such as Downcast or BARD Mobile, I suggest the following:
1.
Close the third-party app,
2.
Assuming that the native Music app is not running, launch it.
3.
Now launch the third-party app, such as Downcast.
4.
Start playback of a third-party media file such as a podcast episode using the play-/pause button.
5.
Now, stop and start playback using the two-finger, double-tap gesture.
Finally, As I have encountered the non-intentional music playback problem from within several third-party apps I would argue that this problem is one that exists at the OS level and is not app-specific. I do not remember encountering this problem in iOS 7 or earlier.

Subject: Downcast Update
I noticed an update to Downcast this morning. It appears that although a two-finger double tap no longer starts music playing or other odd behavior, now it does nothing. So, it's better, but I do hope this gesture returns for starting and stopping playback.
