Hey @dcowan-london,
Background playback is implemented. As soon as elementary will publish the release you can update Tuner via AppCenter. Let me know if it works for you and what you think.

Installed on Arch, works very well, thank you.

The only thing missing is control via tray icon or Media Control.

A minor thing with background playback not worth its own issue: when reopening the player it is not focused as intuitively expected (by many I suppose). On a tiling WM this can be pretty confusing when the windows are tabbed.

Also, consider making background playback optional, since it has added additional mouse interaction when just wanting to stop the radio and close the player (again, mostly for tiling WM users, but also for ctrl-f4 fans).

Really thanks for the great work! I like its lightweight spirit.
