   wild and uneducated guess:

   With point source audio the intensity only depends on how loud the  
sender speaks, distance between sender and reciever and the reciever's  
audio settings.

   With directed audio also the direction the sender and/or the  
reciever face (relative to each other) will play a role: When the  
reciever faces the sender and/or when the sender faces the reciever  
the signal will be louder (like known from RL speaking)

   This is the only thing I can imagine it to mean, but it might still  
be completely wrong. So if someone knows, could he/she please either  
verify this or correct me?
