Access arbitration just means a way of mediating or dealing with multiple users of a common resource. The implication here being that if two different media apps try to use the dsp at the same time, the overload and/or collision between data streams would cause harmful effects. Whether that's a realistic concern or hyperbole (exaggeration), i don't know.
