Answer 1

I'm pretty sure that it has nothing to do with your app (i.e. a special background service runs for the ipod), but i could be wrong...

Answer 2

At startup you need to init an AudioSession by calling

AudioSessionInitialize(NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);

and then set your audio category to kAudioSessionCategory_AmbientSound, like so

UInt32  sessionCategory = kAudioSessionCategory_AmbientSound;
AudioSessionSetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_AudioCategory, sizeof(sessionCategory), &sessionCategory);
AudioSessionSetActive(true);
