MarkGranoff's solution is correct. However, if you prefer to do it in Obj-c instead of C, the following works as well:

    NSError *error = nil;
    [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:&error];
    [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setActive:YES error:&error];
