Adjusting Pandora's volume when running your corona application with audio clips

I have an audio application that I want to run when an application such as Pandora is running (iOS).  I am doing the following to allow Pandora audio to be mixed with my application (this works great):

if audio.supportsSessionProperty == true then     audio.setSessionProperty(audio.MixMode, audio.AmbientMixMode) end local isOtherAudioPlaying = false if audio.supportsSessionProperty == true then     if not(audio.getSessionProperty(audio.OtherAudioIsPlaying) == 0) then         isOtherAudioPlaying = true     end end

Typically I start Pandora first then I start my application.  The issue is that I am not able to adjust the volume of Pandora.  When my clip of audio plays I would like to bring down the volume of Pandora then restore the volume when my audio clip is done.  My audio clips typically are no longer than 5 seconds.

As a general test, without even trying to assign my audio to a specific audio channel I just tried to adjust the master volume by doing the following:

 audio.setVolume(0.10)

This didn’t have any affect on the volume for Pandora.  All of my testing is being done directly on my iPhone device.  I have read through the bulk of the corona audio documentation, so I was surprised that I wasn’t to get this to work.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To prevent my application from stopping when the iPhone goes into sleep mode I am doing the following (this works great as well):

-- Prevent device from going into sleep mode system.setIdleTimer(false)

Regards,

Steve

Wow, I was surprised that I didn’t get even one response from the forum.  It doesn’t have to be Pandora running, it could be one of your other songs playing in your playlist.  I am just trying to temporarily bring down the volume so that I can hear the audio being played within my application.  Any takers?

Corona doesn’t give you control of the volume over other apps, only your own.
