WinRT Background Audio

I am going for a most simplistic playback of background audio. I don't even want to capture media controls or anything. I just want to start the app and play audio until I explicitly close it. That is, it should play audio while hidden.

I used this article and this question as reference and I followed their guidance:

<MediaElement Name="someMedia"
              AudioCategory="BackgroundCapableMedia"
              IsLooping="True"
              Source="Assets/some.mp3"
              AutoPlay="true"/>

Also, I added Background Tasks to my Package.appxmanifest's Declarations, checked Audio and set the start page. What am I missing?

You should also enable SystemMediaTransportControls and handle two events on it and on your MediaElement to keep them in sync.
