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.
