I would like my app to pause currently playing audio (from other applications) for a certain amount of time, and then resume it.
I'm able to simulate the pause/play media key, but the problem is if the system is not playing audio, and then I simulate the key press, it starts playing audio, which is a big no no.
So I need to detect if there is audio playing.
Some things I have explored:
Any ideas?

kAudioDevicePropertyDeviceIsRunningSomewhere will detect whether is a device running that can play audio, but that doesn't mean it actually is playing audio.
AVAudioSession.isOtherAudioPlaying is exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm not working on a Catalyst app, so it's not available to me.
I came across this command, but it is not very accurate. If I pause music, it still returns true for the next 30 seconds or so:
Code Block if [[ "$(pmset -g | grep ' sleep')" == *"coreaudiod"* ]]; then echo audio is playing; else echo no audio playing; fi
Any ideas?
