Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, playback pauses when a message notification sounds (like an incoming whatsapp message ping) plays. I find this annoying.

Describe the solution you'd like

Other players (like Smart AudioBook Player) have an option to not pause playback when a notification sounds plays. Audiobook playback is attenuated for the duration of the sound, rather than paused. Please implement this here as well.

Describe alternatives you've considered

@JvdMaat commented on GitHub (Sep 16, 2024):

Can I add on to this that I would prefer a pause/rewind option. I'm used to Audible where it will pause playback and rewind 3-5 seconds upon resume.
Lowering volume makes sense in apps like Spotify/Youtube/etc where you're listening to music, but audiobooks playing underneath a notification (Granted, I'm driving, so they are GPS notifications with instructions) does not work. And the lack of rewind is frustrating and making me manually rewind many times after a notification.
