Recording video with AVFoundation stops sound

The application I'm currently working on plays background sound by using AVFoundation and effect sounds using the Finch engine. Problem is when I try to record video with sound (i.e. add a audio input to the session) by using AVFoundation lower level classes all sounds suddenly stop. Also, on iOS 5, if I try to record a second video I get an error. If the video is recorded without audio everything is fine. Any ideas what the cause might be

Your audio session is being interrupted by the AVFoundation daemon. You need to set a non-exclusive audio session category to stop this happening.

See the Audio Session Cookbook section of the Audio Session Programming Guide.
