Public bug reported:
David and the security team (inspired by an observation from Rick)
discussed that when recording, pulseaudio should somehow unobtrusively
show the user that it is recording. The easiest thing to do would be for
pulseaudio to alert indicator-sound which would then turn its icon red
(similar to indicator-message turning blue with new messages). Marking
'high' because apps with access to pulseaudio can currently eavedrop on
users. If the app is allowed to do networking (the default for apps),
then it can ship that information off to a server somewhere. Note, this
must happen via the out of process pulseaudio server and not the
confined app itself to be effective.
