Describe the issue

While playing an audiobook, if the "Edit Chapters" dialog is opened (of the current or any other audiobook), you can select "Listen to beginning of chapter" while listening to an audiobook and you get two audio streams playing.

Streams are able to be controlled independent of one another.

Should a play event from the "Edit Chapters" dialog supersede the currently playing audiobook?

Steps to reproduce the issue

Play an audiobook
Open "Edit Chapters" dialog
Select any active chapter's "Listen to beginning of chapter" icon
Observe there are now two audio streams playing
Pressing "Pause chapter playback" icon will only pause the active chapter stream - not the audiobook stream
Pressing "Listen to beginning of chapter" of another chapter will stop previous chapter stream and start the newly selected chapter stream, etc.
Pressing the audiobook "Pause" icon will only pause playback of the audiobook stream - not the "Listen to beginning of chapter" stream
