Description

We've had many reports of playback stopping randomly from our users. The vast majority of these are due to https://github.com/Automattic/pocket-casts-android/issues/29, but some of the cases when this happens don't show the ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException in the logs, so this issue is for tracking those other occurrences in case we have two issues here.

Research direction

Start by reviewing linked issue #29 and the reports where playback stops without ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException in the logs. Compare those occurrences to the known failure mode; done means determining whether they represent a separate issue and documenting the distinction.
