Can you have the microphone on while you are in the background? Yes, AFAIK.
Can you record from another app? No, unless it is playing through external speakers. If it is playing through the earpiece, headsets, etc., you can't record from it. And, of course, if it is playing through external speakers, the microphone will pick up other sounds as well: babies crying, phones ringing, copyright cops breaking down the door, etc. On Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 7:44 AM, bryandunbar <[email protected]> wrote: > Is it possible to record audio while your applications UI > Is not active.
