AUDIO&

Management!

Audio sources are typically activated /deactivated due to event which causes an audio source to be either
requested for playback or released from playback. Since multiple clients may request access to the audio
system for playback, mixing, etc. the Audio Resource Server must have a method in place to track the requests
for sources and track the current sources.
