[BUG]: Using the AirPod pause button starts whatever is on in the background

[rustygloves]

Version

6.10.2

What platforms are you having the problem on?

iOS

System Version

18.3

On what device are you experiencing the issue?

Real device

Architecture

New architecture with interop layer

What happened?

When removing an AirPod the video will pause as expected, but when putting it back in it will start whatever background app was playing audio before, and the video will stay paused

I would expect to have some control over this behaviour.

Ideally the play / pause would apply to the react-native-video media only.
