Public bug reported:

This bug is to document the work and feature introduced in Oxide by 1.8,
to support background playback of audio streams via the Media Hub.

The feature was  actually merged in earlier, but has been really
compiled in by default starting with 1.8.

Technically, the client application must set an environment variable to
enable that "opt-in" feature. This is typically done by webapp-container
on a per webapp basis. Audio streams are the supported case, but there
is nothing preventing other streams like a video stream to be sent for
background rendering. Only audio streams are supported by this feature
though, as the results for video or other content types are not defined.
