I have built a simple app to play (looping) a sound (loop.ogg, 22 sec) from the assets. But if some devices (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S8, Note8, Android 9) go to background (pressing the Home button) or I turn the screen of (standby, sleep mode), the sound begins to stutter after about 50-60 sec and later it stops.

This does not happen on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (Android 9), OnePlus 6 (Android 10).
We already discussed a similar issue (bug) in the forum, but without any result. Exoplayer about 10 or 15 minutes the application closes when the screen turns off - #80 by bodymindpower
If this issue (bug) cannot be solved, the ExoPlayer is practically useless.
Can you please answer this question @Kodular :
Is there still a (real) chance / perspective for ExoPlayer in the near future regarding this problem?
If not, that would be the time for the @ExtensionDevelopers to consider whether to create an extension for playing and gapless looping sounds / audio files (without these issues in standby / background).
Almost every music / sound app that works with background music / sounds needs this ability.
Note:
The TaifunPlayer extension is working in standby / background and has the ability for seamless looping, but unfortunately gapless looping doesn’t work on some specific Chinese devices (e.g. Xiaomi Note5, OnePlus 6) any more.
