Speaker icon by volume and media controls?

Hey there,

Any idea what the speaker icon is for? I have just downloaded whats app and when pushed it takes me straight to that.

It means streaming, it is used when an app is streaming sound (for example Pandora), but WhatsApp has a "fake" streaming to maintain WiFi on (WP7 issue). You can use "Stop the music" app for stop the fake streaming.

Next WhatsApp version will not use that fake streaming.
