BINARY-MQTT-AUDIO-CHAIN: Evidence of Audio Data Transmission via MQTT

This document compiles binary evidence demonstrating the infrastructure connecting audio capture functions to MQTT transmission mechanisms in the Facebook iOS application. The analysis reveals: 1. **MQTT sender classes with audio-related callers** at documented addresses 2. **Complete audio-to-network pathways** with call depths of 7-12 layers 3. **MQTT infrastructure integrated with background task management** for persistent operation

Part 3: Audio-to-MQTT Pathway Evidence

3.1 MQTT Signaling for Audio/Call Sessions

The `RIBMQTTChannel` class bridges audio sessions with MQTT transport:

Objective-C

@interface RIBRSSignaling : NSObject <RIBMQTTNotificationListener>
    ^{__RSSignalingTransportProxy} _signalingTransport;
    ^{__RSSignalingTransportSink} _transportSink;
@end

@interface RIBMQTTChannel : NSObject <RIBRSSignalingDelegate>
    ^{__RTChannel} _rtChannel;
    ^{_RTMQTTBridge} _mqttBridge;
@end

**Significance:** MQTT is used for call/audio signaling, establishing the bidirectional channel for audio-related data.

3.2 MNMQTTSender in Audio Context

From CMSampleBuffer trace analysis, `MNMQTTSender` appears in the same call chains as audio functions:

Function	Address	Keyword Match	Context
`_MNMQTTSenderForViewer`	0x001dd630	Send	Viewer-specific sender
`_MNActiveParticipantMQTTPublisher`	0x001dd7c8	Publish	Participant data
`_-`	0x001dd9e0	Send	Configuration
`_-`	0x001ddd0c	Publish	Start publishing

These appear in the same trace as:

undefined

3.3 MQTT + Background Task Integration
