Any plans for media support in SDK/API?

I've had FR645 Music for the weekend and I really enjoyed music on the run with my AirPods without my iPhone with me. However the native media app leaves a lot to be desired.

Especially to the podcast listener since one major flaw (and I don't know how this passed QA/UX) is that it doesn't remember podcast position if you switch away from one to another or to music for example.

So I was wondering if there are any plans of adding media storing / playback support to the API? I can easily envision 3rd party podcast widgets and/or media players. Hell, even I'd want to build one :D

Thanks,
Miha
