An example method include storing, in a data buffer, audio data received from an audio endpoint device, installing, a software driver associated with the audio session, where the software driver prevents access to the audio data by unauthorized software applications, and receiving process identifier data from a software application requesting to access the audio data stored in the data buffer.
