Try Deskpins . That's the only method that's working for me currently.

Mostly because I don't need any of the features that were added in 8.1, and afaik Windows 8 will still continue to receive security updates for some time.

The "play audio in background" option doesn't seem to be working for me in with the Netflix app Windows 8 (not 8.1). I tried both the global setting and the application specific setting for Netflix.
