Bug ID: 410637
Summary: Do not show microphone icon when an application (like
PulseEffects) is using a recording PulseAudio sink
monitor
Product: plasma-pa
Version: 5.16.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: now...@gmail.com
Reporter: kurmi...@libero.it
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Because of a bad implementation, Plasma is showing the microphone icon in the
system tray when PulseEffects is running, reporting that "PulseEffects is using
the microphone". Read here for more info:
https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects/issues/547#issuecomment-517027185
As explained in the reported issue, PulseEffects loads a virtual monitor sink
where it records the input stream, but this sink should not be considered as a
real microphone the user is using.
So Plasma should only consider non-virtual recording sinks to show the
microphone icon in the system tray.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install and launch PulseEffects.
2. Launch any audio/video stream from whichever application
3. PulseEffects pipeline will be initialized and a microphone icon is showed on
the system tray even if the user is not really using a microphone.
EXPECTED RESULT
No microphone icon showed, unless the user will really connect and use a
microphone on its system.
