Then the existing config UI will be used for this, and can be used to disable other SNIs too. It is not that easy. SNI is just a protocol for system tray icons. Currently it is not possible to disable SNI icon entirely from symtem tray settings - you can only hide it (to the hidden icons view). It is a responsibility of the application to decide if icon is needed or not and give user the option to disable the system tray icon (some applications have such option). I'm not sure if having an option to disable SNI icon is a good idea. If you don't want the icon, do not start an app in the first place or hide it or ask author of an app for an option to disable tray icon. In case of Microphone Indicator, it will run and take resources, it will try to create an icon and will take the resources. If we give users an option to disable SNI icons in system tray settings it may look like disabling the service entirely, which is not true. IMO the initial idea is good - add an option to plasma-pa settings.
