Headphones (not headsets) and AUX connections
With the stock ROM when you plug in headphones (not headsets) or an AUX connection and play music and then when the phone rings the music will pause and when you answer you can speak via the phone microphone and receive the incoming audio through the headphone jack.
With CM11 the phone microphone does not work in this scenario., but the inbound sound still comes through the headphones (or car radio).
With PABX Lollipop when the phone rings it is all muted and the only way to answer the phone is to pull out the headphones. CM11 is much the same in that you can only answer the phone by pulling out the headphones or AUX cable.
I use a Belkin headset adaptor to work around this. This is an adaptor cable that adds a microphone to headphones turning it into a headset. Headsets work fine, this is a very specific issue.
I realise this is of low importance and as Cyanogenmod have never been able to solve it I assume it is not an easy thing to change. People who play music through AUX connectors would appreciate the behaviour of the stock ROM. At the moment it would be impossible to answer the phone while playing music while driving in a car.
ps the Belkin adaptors are about ten bucks on eBay and even though they are advertised for iPhones they work fine and you can turn an AUX connection into a functional handsfree. There are many others available just search on "headphone adapter with microphone"
