Yes to Item 1. I found this out the hard way. I was using my IPad to view some private web videos (what can I say, I like that stuff). All of a sudden I heard moaning and groaning coming from my music room. I'll be damned... the Ipad was sending the audio from the video to my music studio and it was playing in stereo and loud!!! Quickly turned off the Firehawk and the audio stopped. I was not running the Firehawk app, but did have the Firehawk on. So be careful.
