Details

It's currently possible that the low memory killer can kill an active process using the micorphone in the background. When this happens, a user silently finds out if they closely watch the recording indicator disappear, which I think is too silent of a notification that the microphone is no longer active. Instead, if the low memory killer kills the process using the microphone, we should be more explicit to indicate that the microphone is no longer active.

We'll get to this when we've cleared koi+ and koi?, which are taking all of our time right now.

Thinking about this again, this is low priority, so don't worry about putting this on your backlog to look into right now. If we start getting user complaints around this, then I'll reflag to get someone to look into this.
