[pulseaudio-discuss] dynamic routing through pulse audio

[Himanshu Chug]

Adding to my question:

+ I need to Play a Beep kind of sound when an "event" stream (say sms) came
during active "phone" call stream and cork the actual "event" (sms tone)
stream.

So there are two requirements now:
1. Cork the "event" stream during active "phone" stream.
2. Mixing the "phone" stream with new Beep stream.

Thanks,
Himanshu
