Seems to be working already on android??

Just happened to click into this since it was mentioned in my PR. Yes, they've recently committed changes that solved the issue with the playback being stopped immediately when the app moved to the background. However, based on my experiences, the playback will stop after some time (due to battery optimization on Android) unless wake lock is activated. That's what the PR aims to resolve.

I already use wakelock to keep the screen on, it does seem to play for quite some time already >30mins for example

Should be enough if you do it manually. Wake lock can also be used to keep the network active in the background, even if the screen is off which is the plan with the PR, but then it sounds like it's not needed in your case.
