Hi.
I'm using SimpleAudioEngine to play sound effects in my game. It works fine but I want the user to be able to listen to background music from other apps, for example Spotify, at the same time the user is playing. But as it is now the music from Spotify fades out and stops playing when my game is launched.
The question is: How do I allow the music from Spotify (or other music players) to be played while the user play my game?

Thanks for the tip but it doesn't work for me. I've also tried to set the mode to "kAMM_PlayAndRecord" but it doesn't seem to work either :/
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I put the code in my AppDelegate class in the applicationDidFinishLaunching method.
EDIT:
I'm using version 0.99.5 of Cocos2D and the iOS 4.3 SDK.

Straight from the code:
kAMM_FxOnly, //!Other apps will be able to play audio

@lap.felix - yes, but Folkdev didn't say anything about background music in the game. They asked how to play effects and have background music from another app. The problem with kAMM_FxPlusMusicIfNoOtherAudio is lots of third party apps like Spotify and Pandora don't correctly register as playing audio so they will get canned on start up.
