Responding here to #4, I see your concern jdstrand. I guess the urgency
will depend on the behaviour of the client APIs when the app calling
them is backgrounded. do they continue, or do they move into some error
state. I've assumed the latter so far, but I can see that may not be the
case.

Title:
  please provide visual cue during background recording

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.
