AUDIO&
Management!
Audio sources are typically activated /deactivated due to event which causes an audio source to be either 
requested for playback or released from playback. Since multiple clients may request access to the audio 
system for playback, mixing, etc. the Audio Resource Server must have a method in place to track the requests 
for sources and track the current sources.
