Attacks using the microphone are a point. However, disabling it hard
enough so that it would actually defeat a serious attacker while still
providing an option for the user to enable it seems us a non-trivial
task and higher priority items are still in our todo list.

Even though an attacker targeting Tails (or just a bit serious) could
bypass the protection, muting the microphone by default might defeat
some attacks. We thus added it to our todo:
