Adding an indicator-sound task in case there is work to do there to support this. If the API is there already, please mark 'Invalid'.

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.
