It sounds like this is not related to fix the mentioned issue. Would you open another PR for this? |

I do not think there is an open issue for this.
Without this fix, the mic symbol appears in the panel when sound is played while there is no input device connected. The volume slider and mute button also appear inside the volume widget, with an empty input device list:

This is due to the playback device being passed as an input (
SourceInfo). The modifications just ignore output devices in the input detection.To be honest, I am not sure that this is normal behavior in the first place. This could mean this PR is more of a workaround.
For example here are the respective device name and description I got as an input when I investigated this :
