Thanks Colin. got your point here. Now similar to music cork over phone, I need to cork the stream with role="event" when another stream with role="phone" becomes active. (here event can be sms alert etc) , Do I need to write any new module for this? or this can be achieved some how, any pointers can be helpful?
