OK, found it. Thanks for the tip Scott!
Under those modes, I'd have to enable the background mode for audio,
otherwise when it takes longer for the foreground phone app to dismiss,
the AudioOutputUnitStart() may fail its turn.
Thanks,

Thanks. I found some clues.

Just under AmbientSound and iOS8 devices,

1. If I put a sleep(2); before the AudioOutputUnitStart() call, then the audio will restore normally. And 2 is an empirical number, 1 would be too short, and 3 seems to work the same way as 2.

2. If the first call to AudioOutputUnitStart() fails, there is just no use to wait and retry.

This looks scary because I found no docs explaining the differences in interruption handling "timing" between iOS versions. And the number feels completely random.

Does anyone have any pointers?

Thanks,
Beinan

Just as a starting point: if you grep that error in the public audio headers, you will find it is:

AVAudioSessionErrorCodeCannotStartPlaying = '!pla', /* 0x21706C61, 561015905 */

with description:

@constant AVAudioSessionErrorCodeCannotStartPlaying
The app is not allowed to start recording and/or playing, usually because of a lack of audio key in
its Info.plist. This could also happen if the app has this key but uses a category that can't record
and/or play in the background (AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient, AVAudioSessionCategorySoloAmbient, etc.).

Hi CoreAudio,

Our app used to handle interruption correctly with the registered interruption listener.
Now on iOS 8 under kAudioSessionCategory_AmbientSound category,
whenever we reject a phone call, the call to AudioOutputUnitStart() for resuming the
audio pipeline always returns:

ERROR: [0x3afe09dc] 1230: AUIOClient_StartIO failed (561015905)

And our apps will have no sound as a result.

We set it to retry on fails but it would always fail on retries.

We were we missing?

Thanks,
Beinan
