App using CPU when running in the background while audio is stopped.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start the NPR News app.
2. Play some audio.
3. Stop the audio.
4. Hit the home button to leave the app.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd expect that CPU usage would be at 0% since it isn't doing anything anymore. 
It's usually around 7-10%.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using version 2.0.2 on Android 2.2

Please provide any additional information below.
I guess this could be the desired functionality so that Android doesn't kill 
the program and lose buffered audio. If that is the case, there should really 
be a stop button so that the battery doesn't get eaten up when you're done 
listening.

To be exact, I'm running Android 2.2.2 on a Motorola Atrix. (I forgot to list 
the phone model in the initial post and didn't know if it'd be helpful to have.)

Do you have a log or some read out so we can see this a little more?

• Added labels: Milestone-2.5, Priority-Low

Hopefully improved. But because of how the android OS works and what our app 
needs to do, there are going to be some processes happening in the background.
