This release includes a new light-locker, a great improvement if you ask me. The thing is that whenever I try to lock the session or when it locks automatically after some time, it stops (or pause) playback of music, for instance (I have just noticed this while having some music played in the background on youtube). When I unlock the session it resumes playing instantly. I've looked for some options in the settings, but didn't see any.
