Found in the hardware acceptance run (see #32 comment). Capturing a sink with pw-record --target also links the default microphone unless the stream property stream.capture.sink is set, so system-audio capture can open the mic. Severity: high (privacy). Expected: system-audio capture never touches an input device. Evidence: #32 (comment)
