  Based on the logs and code review, I found a reproducible edge case related to the AirPods sleep detection feature.

  The user listened for ~17 minutes (from 27:29 to approximately 44:29), but when they resumed, the position was 42:41 - about 1.5-2 minutes earlier than where   
  they actually were.

  The pause() function does not explicitly save the current playback position.                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                                                  
  Looking at PodAVPlayer.swift:170-173:

  }                                                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                  
  Position is only saved:                                                                                                                                         
  1. Every 3 seconds during active playback via the periodic time observer                                                                                        
  2. On explicit seek operations                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                                  
  When the AirPods sleep detection pauses playback:                                                                                                               
  1. The audio interruption triggers pause()                                                                                                                      
  2. The periodic time observer may have saved position up to 3 seconds ago                                                                                       
  3. The position at the exact moment of pause is not saved                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                                                  
  Why the "5-10 minutes" perception?                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                                  
  The user mentioned "5 or 10 minutes earlier." The logs show a smaller gap (~2 minutes), but:                                                                    
  - Perception while falling asleep can be fuzzy                                                                                                                  
  - The periodic time observer might have stopped saving earlier if the app was backgrounded                                                                      
  - If listening at a faster playback rate (e.g., 1.5x), the real-time gap would feel longer                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                                  
  Actionable Fix
