Responding here to #4, I see your concern jdstrand. I guess the urgency will depend on the behaviour of the client APIs when the app calling them is backgrounded. do they continue, or do they move into some error state. I've assumed the latter so far, but I can see that may not be the case.

This will allow an app like Skype to work normally in the foreground, but if the user launches another app into the foreground, the user is able to see that he/she is still on the Skype call. In addition to the usability benefit, this provides a security benefit because it stops eavesdropping because the user will have a visual cue that the malicious/misbehaving app is recording audio.
