Description
### Description
While chromecasting the app to a Google Home Max speaker, playback suddenly stopped without me interacting with either the chromecast or the app. I opened the app and found I could not start playback because the play/pause button was stuck as a pause icon—tapping it did nothing in either the full screen or mini-players. The rest of the app was responsive. The only way I was able to get the app to play again was by swiping the app away and restarting it.
### Step-by-step reproduction instructions
I don't know how to reproduce this. 😞

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by investigating Chromecast playback on Android using the listed Pixel 6 Pro, Android 13, Pocket Casts 9.30 development build, and Google Home Max, then determine whether the stuck pause state can be reproduced; the issue is done when playback can resume without restarting the app.
