APL Video doesn't pause while pressing voice search button on Fire TV

Hello,

I'm creating a skill that uses APL video component to play my own audio file. I expect the audio is paused each time the customer says the wake word "Alexa, " or presses the voice search button on remote of Fire TV. In other words, the system should invoke onPause handler inside video component when Alexa microphone is on. Then I could do something in onPause handler.

My trouble is pause event of video component is not invoked when voice search button of Fire TV remote is pressed and holding.

I appreciated any help or suggestion. TIA!
