Show OSD when application starts using muted microphone

Kai Uwe Broulik requested to merge work/kbroulik/muted-mic-reminder into master

When an application starts using a microphone that is muted, show an OSD as a reminder.

It won't show again unless the microphone was unmuted inbetween.

Superseds !128 (closed) – Unline the older MR, this one checks the actual microphone the app is using rather than piggybacking on the microphone indicator.

I found that starting Audacity causes it to show since it seems to query and enumerate all the devices.

I wonder if we should also show it for muted streams? Since accidentally muting an app in the volume applet will remember that through stream restore and that is really tough to figure out. But that’s not something we can really remember so it would show every time and if it were deliberate, it would get annoying quickly.
