I believe what was being referred to is a permissions-based system. Sort
of like on windows, the "Do you want to allow machine OMGCOOLPICS to
have access to your C:\ drive?" after which it saves your answer for
future sounds/streams.

You've already covered previously why this sort of permissions aren't
