jmc activating microphone?
I have an app (Oversight) that tells me when another app uses my webcam or microphone. Whenever I load jmc and start playing a song on beta 3 I get notified that my mic is being used?
jmc doesn't do anything microphone-related at all. There is some code in AudioModule.swift which touches some low-level audio stuff to detect when the system audio output device changes, but I'm not sure why that would cause a program like Oversight to think the microphone is being used.
Well I would suggest looking further into it because it might scare some people away from your software. I have never seen another app do this that wasn't actually using the microphone. I'm sure you're right and it's just a false positive, but it's the first I've ever seen.

Hmm. I removed the listener block I mentioned but the alert is still triggered for some reason. The rest of the audio pipeline is super simple; it's just an AVAudioPlayerNode hooked up to the system output node through a mixer and an EQ. My money's on this being a bug on Oversight's end that has to do with AVAudioEngine.
I'll leave this open in case I revisit it later.
I emailed the Oversight people in regards to this. I'll let you know what they say.
Started to look into it and it definitely is comnected to the use of AVAudioEngine. Basically, commenting out all of the init code in AudioModule stops the warning.
I didn’t have time to find out any details though, maybe I’ll give it another go and see if there is anything we could change that would fix warning without breaking jmc :)
