This is possibly a bug. pulseaudio is supposed to have trust-store
integration these days, however, I'm not sure if camera is granted if
that implies microphone. I see you filed the bug here:

I'll add a comment to that bug."

Title:
  Access to microphone is allowed even when user denies access to "video
  and microphone"

Status in Oxide:
  New
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The plain web browser can access the microphone when you deny the
  permission to access camera and microphone.

  Tested / discovered with bq Aquaris E5 Ubuntu Edition, OTA-9.1
  (vegeta, latest stable as of today).

  How to Reproduce
  ----------------

  1.) Go to e.g. https://appear.in/test-drive on your Ubuntu phone (default web browser app)
  2.) When prompted for "Allow this domain access the camera and microphone" choose "No"
  3.) Click away the chat window (touch the down-arrow at right lower corner)
  4.) Touch the screen to dismiss the "help text" ("Video off" is shown prominently)
  5.) Touch the screen again to show the video controls, touch on the "microphone" icon; "Audio only" is shown on the screen
  6.) Log in to the same URL from a PC (or another phone) to verify audio works
