  • Publication number: 20140052438
    Abstract: In a computer system that permits multiple audio capture applications to get an audio capture feed concurrently, an audio manager manages audio capture and/or audio playback in reaction to trigger events. For example, a trigger event indicates an application has started, stopped or otherwise changed a communication stream, or indicates an application has gained, lost or otherwise changed focus or visibility in a user interface, or indicates a user change. In response to a trigger event, the audio manager applies a set of rules to determine which audio capture application is allowed to get an audio capture feed. Based on the decisions, the audio manager manages the audio capture feed for the applications. The audio manager also sends a notification to each of the audio capture applications that has registered for notifications, so as to indicate whether the application is allowed to get the audio capture feed.
