is there any way you could run the pulseaudio without the microphone icon popping up in system tray?
I am used to not see it unless an app absolutely needs to use the microphone right now.
it seems that the pulseaudio server triggers the microphone icon permanently.
maybe dynamically be able to restart pulseaudio daemon in two configuration modes, one with microphone and in one without it, user selectable from GUI config of the app? I don't think I need pulseaudio to permanently hook the microphone device, even if it actually does not make use of it.
a major drawback of current state is that I would miss real microphone notification if some other app actually wants to use the microphone.
when only one app is using the microphone, when you hover the mouse it tells the name of the app. when 2 apps are using, it only tells "2 apps are using", which requires extra clicks to see exactly which ones are listed in the settings app
Wow that's amazing. Can't wait to try it out!

I tried like this unix.stackexchange.com/questions/2...
$ pactl unload-module 7
shared memfd open() failed: Function not implemented
"pactl list" relevant module:
Module #7
Name: module-waveout
Argument: sink_name=output source_name=input record=0
Usage counter: 0
Properties:
module.author = "Pierre Ossman"
module.description = "Windows waveOut Sink/Source"
module.version = "1.1"
the same error with
$ sudo pactl suspend-source 2 true
shared memfd open() failed: Function not implemented
