title: Disabling microphone programmatically
body: <p>I wonder if there is any way to disable microphone programmatically (to get rid of the red bar in the background)?</p>
  
  <p>I use OpenEars to listen for commands in the app. When I go to the background red bar appears (which is obvious, as microphone is active).
  The problem is that the microphone is active even when OpenEars is <code>suspended</code>. To avoid unnecessary questions I cannot <code>stop</code> OpenEars as it ends up with mixing audioSession with my other sources. </p>
