Hi, so I’m using panon (an audio visualizer for the plasma panel), which allows
to select a source. Since it doesn’t implicitly use everything, it wouldn’t
display the indicator if one chooses a sink monitor and monitors weren’t
considered microphones.

Well, in any case it’s not a “microphone”. I’d say optimally

1. If a monitor is being recorded, the text and icon should reflect that (maybe
a stylized jack plug?
https://www.iconfinder.com/icons/3545660/connector_jack_music_plug_port_sound_icon_icon)
2. There should be a way to suppress the icon in the monitor case (because of
always-on visualizers).

   Idk if a whitelist of applications that aren’t considered “recording” is a
good idea for this: Malware might disguise itself as one of them to avoid
detection. Then again, users should be able to choose.
