Answer 1

It's a partial solution but to my mind it's the most perenne solution. MediaPlayer has been created a long time ago, and therefore is not very flexibile as we want it. I have been using Exoplayer from one year now and last version come with audio playback only. So I guess if you change your implementation of your audio player to use Exoplayer it will solve most issue and later issue.

Exoplayer is a powerfull player from google developers, available as an external librarie so you don't have to manage buggy implementation on some Android version.
