Is it possible to play audio from video in the background while using a different app?

I would like to be ale to play audio from a video file in videos (or av player hd) in the background whie using a diffent app in my iPad 2. (ie watching a video while taking notes on the content or highlighting an e-textbook).


Is this possible? Either through the original iPad functionality or by downloading a separate app?


Thanks,

Is it important that the music come from a video, or are you just looking to listen to music in the background, while doing something else. If the later, you can certainly play music from the Music App, Pandora, or iHeart Radio, etc., and with the music playing, tap your home button to go to your home page and open anything else you want and the music will continue.


I don't have any videos to try out right now, but you try the same thing out and if the music continues, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
