TIPS & TRICKS:

★ Background audio in iOS4: stream keeps playing after you tap the home button.

★ Double-tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking UI and slide over the remote controls to pause/resume playing. In addition, you can lock the device, bring up the remote controls on the lock screen and pause/resume playing. And it responds to pause/resume from external microphones as well.
