> Before the initiation of the recording process in iOS, the media API ensures
> that the application is recording-capable, by setting the category of the
> AVAudioSession to "AVAudioSessionCategoryRecord". This behavior is incorrect
> in the case that the category is already set to the value of
> "AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord". Obviously in this case, the
> application already has recording capabilities, and changing the category to
> record-only deprives the app of being able to play video at the same time.
> The only possible workaround to this, is setting the AVAudioSession category
> to play-and-record after the recording has started, and then initiate video
> play. However, this may be unacceptable in various scenarios. Thus, the Media
> plugin should first check if the audio session is already configured for
> play-and-record, and if not, then set the session category to record-only.
