Description

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start a Talk call in a Chrome/Brave Progressive Web App and leave/end the call after some time.
  2. See after ending the call macOS still displays the App "playing" although it is silent and so blocking bluetooth headphones from selecting another input source - because they are still geting the "playing" signal from the Mac.

Expected behaviour

The "playing" status should vanish after ending the call.

The "playing" status remains after ending the call and only vanishes when quitting the PWA.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Talk call in a Chrome or Brave Progressive Web App on macOS, then trace the audio cleanup that runs when the call ends. Done means the app no longer shows as playing after the call and Bluetooth headphones can select another input source without quitting the PWA.
