Underneath they mean doing things like high-pass filtering to remove background noise and formant emphasis, automatic gain control, and other things that improve call quality substantially in the voip mode, but would destroy the quality of music or other general-purpose audio that isn't sourced from a low-quality microphone. Exactly what's done is up to the UA, but the intent is important.
