Feature or improvement you want

With the new playback service, the option to duck volume for received notifications has been removed. Is it possible to add it back or is it a hard limitation?

Relevant PR: https://github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaPod/pull/8433 Relevant forum post: https://forum.antennapod.org/t/behavior-on-incoming-notifications/8663 Also somewhat related: https://github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaPod/issues/8333

Why should this be added?

Pausing playback for notifications is really annoying.
