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'
or similar) and logging them to a file when detected.

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

gene@coyote:~$ pactl subscribe | while read -r v ; do [[ "$v" == *client* ]] && continue ; date; echo "$v" ; pacmd list-sink-inputs ; done
bash: pactl: command not found
gene@coyote:~$ sudo apt install pactl

Next?

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.

Those would all be under /home/me/.local? FWIW I am the only live user.
