Multipeer audio streaming stops running in the background

Question

I am doing audio streaming with iOS 7 Multipeer Connectivity. Streaming works well, but when I put the application in the background, it stops working.

Can someone tell me if this is a limitation of the framework, or am I doing something wrong?

• And if this is a limitation of the framework, is there anything you can do to avoid this?

• Can I use background tasks so that streaming and music work in the background?

• Is it possible? If this is not possible, are there any alternatives for streaming audio MultiPeerbetween iOS devices ?.

I am using this example: https://github.com/tonyd256/TDAudioStreamer .
