According to my information the app got not rejected because of AI still 
running, but because the audio blocks the power management to go to 
suspend mode.

And since there is no sound audible it might be that sound output is 
done in a not supported way. (But don't ask me how to do it correctly 
:-) But I'm sure here are other Sailors which can help you with that in 
your particular case).
