ios cordova html5,Cordova/iOS: HTML5 video without sound stops music

I've programmed a Cordova app with some HTML5 video tags in it and want to deliver a "video preview" to my users (like facebook does). On iOS, you are not allowed, to set the volume of the video tag by Javascript, so we have to play videos without sound (we've converted the original video to a preview file without sounds). That's works fine but running us into the following situation:

If a preview file starts playing, all music from other apps (like Spotify) will be stopped. In our case, that's bad for the user experience.

My question now: Is there a "workaround" or plugin for that case?

BTW: We are using the videos inline, because we don't want to open the external iOS player:
