iOS: Control audio volume from within app and outside of app

Is it possible to manage the volume of audio from external source and internal source separately in iOS?

For example, if I am listening to Apple Music or iPod music and I launch into my app and play my own audio, is it possible to control the volume for the two separately?

Generally you cannot control the volume of an app programmatically. It's a safety thing. Suppose you made a cool app that played sounds and you could programmatically crank the volume all the way up.

The only possible work around that I can think of is if you wrote your own player and lowered volume via a mixer/fader. You could essentially decrease the volume but you could never go over the threshold volume level that the user set.
