Title:
  please provide visual cue during background recording

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Incomplete
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in qtubuntu-camera package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After bug #1224756 is fixed, we should provide a visual cue for when
  an app moves to the background and is recording audio. This will allow
  an app like Skype to work normally in the foreground, but if the user
  launches another app into the foreground, the user is able to see that
  he/she is still on the Skype call. In addition to the usability
  benefit, this provides a security benefit because it stops
  eavesdropping because the user will have a visual cue that the
  malicious/misbehaving app is recording audio.

  This needs design.
