Hi KDE devs! I am PulseEffects developer.
I understand that there may be a value in notifying the user that something is
recording audio even if it is from a virtual sink monitor. What is odd is
always telling the user that a microphone is being used. That is why they think
that PulseEffects is accessing their mic when we are not doing that! The choice
of name(and icon) is the real problem here.
I also wonder why KDE(or maybe QT?) is trying to detect virtual audio streams.
As far as I remember you do not have this concept in Pulseaudio. Take a look at
this https://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/doxygen/streams.html and this
https://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/doxygen/def_8h.html#a6966d809483170bc6d2e6c16188850fc.
There is no flag that could mark a stream as virtual. What can or can not be
virtual are sources and sinks. The stream handles real and virtual devices the
same way.
I imagine there is a reason why this is being made. As I never looked at KDE
code I have no idea... But trying to detect virtual streams sounds a little odd
when only input and output devices can be virtual.
Best regards,
Wellington
