Did you try setting html5 to false? It works in some places for me, with the new iOS version the audio stops working if I set HTML to true.

There is smth like Media Sesison, which is responsible for media on locked screens etc. I had same issue with other lib and i set up this and it worked, not sure if thats the case for you, but worth check it out. Also you can add handlers for widget when phone is locked and add art image etc.
