You'd think it'd be simpler to write a script that runs overnight
checking for active audio sources (using maybe 'pacmd list-sink-inputs'

Is it possible to increase verbosity of logs of some pulseaudio module?
An attempt to react to events:
pactl subscribe | while read -r v ; do [[ "$v" == *client* ]] &&
continue ; date; echo "$v" ; pacmd list-sink-inputs ; done
I would not be surprised if some web application tries to notify about
e.g. birthdays or some other events. Unsure if it is possible to do from
a service worker or the site must be opened in a tab. The audio file may
exist in browser cache only this case.
Thunderbird calendar, korganizer, alarm applets or applications may be
suspected as well.
