It's up to the application to turn on/off the line-in/aux/whatever input
you configure it to use for incoming audio.  I know most of the Windows
software out there is really bad about doing this (even when they offer
an option to set the input audio interface, it doesn't always close --
let alone it doesn't do it when minimized).
