Curious to know if with youtube red, if i play in the background is it smart enough to switch to an audio only stream, or still full bandwidth?

Good question. As they normally serve their content as separate audio and video streams, it should be perfectly feasible to do that. I wouldn't bet on it, however.

I believe if you use the Youtube Music app to play things, you'll get audio only.
