Beg your pardon? That's two, contradictory statements. You are either buffering the audio or not. If yes, then the "no audio is processed" is very thin truth. If not, then the only time you win it takes for the Mac to switch the mic on, surely that takes a very small fraction of a second...?




The audio is buffered but not otherwise processed. I would not call buffering processing. The statement "not processed" in the context is reasonable.
