I don't think you are allowed to by Youtubes terms of use; I am referring to the API terms. However, it is certainly technically possible. One hackie but simple solution would be to make an invisible view that plays the video; you would never see the video but you should be able to here the audio; just set the view's alpha low.

However, I do not recommend breaking the terms for the API, as I am sure there would be repercussions. Best of luck with your client.
