Hi,
Our app has the capability to play music, following are the steps to
recreate this issue
1. Create a simple Android app which can play music
2. Request Audiofocus when the music starts playing
3. In the same app or in an another app which uses WebView, load a Youtube
URL
4. Once Youtube Video plays, ideally Android should send a AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS
intent to first app which is not happening

we are able to recreate the same issue in lollipop too (Nexus 5)

I'm seeing the same behavior in our app. Our app is a music player and when
we start a webview that is playing a HTML5 video, our audio is lowered 50%
not completely, so there is no audio focus request.
