>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Plugin Media
>    Affects Versions: 3.3.0
>         Environment: iOS
>            Reporter: Stephen Bartholomew

> OVERVIEW
> The Media plugin uses 'startPlayingAudio' when Media#play() is called (https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-plugin-media.git;a=blob;f=www/Media.js;h=083af3623a56fded9fd25505a94d19bd901c5e6a;hb=HEAD#l75).
> The comment states that this will "play or resume" audio but every time, the audio starts from the beginning.
> I've only tested on iOS and my cause/solultions only cover this. I'm not familiar enough with the other platforms right now to make a judgement.
> CAUSE
> CDVAudioFile is initialised from scratched each time startPlayingAudio is called, rather than reusing the current playing instance: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-plugin-media.git;a=blob;f=src/ios/CDVSound.m;h=14b2fc24387cbf91e8e1aad15c3717af63b26ecd;hb=HEAD#l297
> POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
> 1. Store the current playing instance and reuse the resource path is unchanged
> 2. Add a 'resume' method to use instead of using play
> I'm happy to look into either of these but I'd like confirmation of my assessment of the problem and some kind of consensus on the solution.
> WORKAROUNDS
> I'm now attempting to store the audio position at the time of pausing then doing a seek after play to put the audio in the correct place via the JS - not ideal.
