Steps to reproduce

Have a audiobook playing
Go to settings
Change jump back interval
Use pause audiobook from notification card or use AirPods to play/pause

Expected behaviour

The audiobook should pause.

Actual behaviour

The audiobook jumps back a couple of seconds and continue playing. To pause the audiobook I have to use the controls in the app.
If I force close the app and open it again play/pause works as expected.

I've also experienced the same issue. It seems to only occur when the jump back or forward interval has been changed this restart. I've attached a video of it happening. Until 0:30 you can see pausing works on the lock screen, then I change the jump forward interval 10 -> 5 -> 10, play again and when I try pausing again it looks paused, but the audio actually jumps back a bit and starts playing again. Further pausing/unpausing on the lockscreen just make playback start over and over from that point.
Here's the application logs during the video: https://gist.github.com/pgrosslicht/71e2db7d61a186ec402893012a3de6e8
Occurs both in f04eebe0d8 (version in video) and 0.9.73-beta from Testflight.
Server version: 2.8.1

(Video has sound so you can hear the playback as well)

I hope that helps a bit!

Debugger captures this as the result of multiple calls to the commandCenter.pauseCommand target we define in AudioPlayer (despite only pressing the pause button once).

So what's happening is that it successfully pauses only to immediately call the target again, which then unpauses. Still looking into root cause (seems we're probably calling setupRemoteTransportControls too many times?)
