The alarm releases the audio session with notifyOthersOnDeactivation when it is stopped or snoozed and when its last sound finishes, so audio from other apps that was ducked during the alarm returns to full volume right away, also when the app is kept alive in the background by a Bluetooth heartbeat. With Silent Tune holding the session it stays active and goes back to the mixable category Silent Tune uses. Spoken BG uses the same release path, which keeps it from deactivating the session under a playing alarm.

Related to #782.
