I upgraded a VM running native Sid + Buster and did a full upgrade, and found
audio with Mumble 1.3.0+dfsg-1+b1 via pulseaudio worked fine.  I tried using
ALSA with Mumble, and was not able to get that to work with the "[default]
Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server" setting, and haven't
tried further settings (yet).  I tried OSS with Mumble and was not able to get
that to work, but that didn't surprise me.

Concerning Debian Sid/Unstable, my understanding is that it is not a complete
distribution, and so Unstable is meant to be run as Unstable + Stable, i.e. Sid
+ Buster.  Looking at the distributions you're currently using I see it's
Unstable + Testing, i.e. Sid + Bullseye.  I'm not sure if that may explain this
bug or not; I may try to take a VM snapshot and upgrade to Sid + Bullseye and
see if I can get the audio in Mumble to crap out.

But for now I'm marking the severity of this bug as "important" rather than
"grave" because as best I can tell it's broken on your system but not others.
[If other users hit this bug when running Sid + Buster, please report that to
this bug.]

It's also possible this might be AppArmor related, because Mumble doesn't ship
an AppArmor profile at the moment, and I see you've got AppArmor enabled.

The best place I know to get more helpful advice in tracking down the audio
difficulty is the #mumble IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.  There are users in
the IRC channel that regularly help with PulseAudio issues.  Similar to your
experience, for me PulseAudio is mostly a "magic" thing which I tweak a bunch to
get what I need if I find I need something specific.

I'll try to be more help if I can.
