Identify when another program makes sound ?

[CdRsKuLL]

Hi peeps...

I was wondering if it would be possible to monitor a programs audio output and identify when its on / off? I'm coding a carpc frontend and would like to mute the audio when the navigation program speaks directions.

Any ideas would be great

Thanks

Steve

bump..

Is there a watch I could do maybe on the mixer to identify this.. or maybe a watch on say if it starts to play a file.

thanks
