Multiple steams at the same time - Snapcast app for iphone #50
Description
Describe the bug
Snapcast app for iphone having multiple streams at the same time when the login page interface is paused. Every time I pause and play the snapcast player a new stream is created which has the effect of multiple reverbs. If I stop the app and and even erase the server ip, the multiple flows continue. I also have a very, very long list of unused machines in the clients menu and have no way of purging them. I have none of these issues on the android version of the app. It works very well.
Lastly, as I understand it, IOS does not naturally manage multiple app audio streams, which means that when I use Iris on a web browser, the snapcast audio fades out. Apparently there is a way round this on the dev side. I would be great to be able to have snapcast playing in the background. Thank you
IOS 16.4.1

I can confirm this still occurs - I think it has something to do with the lifecycle of the application: I found though that going into the app and pressing stop will kill both streams (which are audible due to an audible change in the sounds, reminiscent of phasing). Pressing play then starts only one stream. The problem seems to be when the app seems to forget about the stream that's already playing and then offers the play button again. I haven't quite figured out what it is that triggers it yet, but I will keep my eyes peeled to try and narrow the issue down further.
