OK - so sharing is impossible. My follow-up is therefore: Is it possible to open the audio input device in a manner that would make it forefit or yield the resource if another application requests it? Again - I am asking this in the context of the OpenSL implementation. I have seen that OpenSL objects are assigned priorities and can be made preemptable - I wonder if that's what I'm looking for.
