title: Alexa - Perform background tasks during audioPlayer.Play
body: <p>How is it possible to carry out any background tasks while Alexa is playing something with audioPlayer.Play?</p>
  
  <p>The below plays an audio stream, but I need to perform other tasks in the background without intervention while the stream is playing. I know it is possible because other Skills can do it.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var handlers = {
    'LaunchRequest': function() {
      this.emit('Play');        
    },
  
    'Play': function() {   
  
      this.response.speak('Sure.').
      audioPlayerPlay(
          'REPLACE_ALL', 
          stream.url, 
          stream.url, 
          null, 
          0);
  
      this.emit(':responseReady');
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone know or have any suggestions? From what I can see, once it starts playing the stream, I cannot get it to do anything unless I interrupt the stream to command another intent?</p>
