Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified. First try to reproduce the playback stop when shifting out of reverse using Android Auto through ZLink5, with the reported Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Pocket Casts version. Done means the cause is reproducible and playback continues after shifting out of reverse, or the issue is narrowed to a specific component.
