Research direction
Start by reproducing the external .mp3 case with the shown media.create() and play() calls on iOS, then inspect the iOS media implementation around AVAudioSession setActive:withOptions:error:. Done means external .mp3 playback works without the reported running-I/O deactivation error on the listed iOS versions.
