Options sidebar when Audio is playing

I am making a game.

I am playing Audio clip in the background. There is no Video, I am using an Audio component.

The Options sidebar slides out when '*' is pressed, which is very annoying.

When I use roAudioPlayer in Main instead of Audio in Scene component - exactly same thing happens.

I know there was some short-sighted decision on ROKU OS 8.1 about options popping out during video, now how can we work around that?

Is there a way to make Audio not to have focus? Be more invisible?

Would running roAudioPlayer from a different Task help?

Thanks!
