audio - how to have two applications play sound simultaneously?

I want the music to keep playing in the background while I practice Spanish on this DuoLingo app. The music player stops while the duolingo is trying to play sound as of now. Is this possbile?

Answer

As for my device, whenever I play duolingo and music at same time then the audio fades slightly with CM 12 built-in player
