Add playWhileMuted property

[Matt Apperson]

On iOS there are multiple AVAudioSessionCategory options for audio when playing a video.
We only really need to care about 2 of them, so we don't need to fully expose the API.

Issue:
Currently if the sound toggle switch is muted, the videos audio is muted.

Requested feature:
set [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:nil]; if playWhileMuted prop is set to true. default should be false.

The suggestion to add [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:nil]; at the bottom of didFinishLaunchingWithOptions no longer seems to be working. Any ideas?
