Possible but not likely. An exploit like that would have been big news
by now. This seems a very targeted attack focused on you, and perhaps
more narrowly applied than it might seem: got any roommates? By
description this sounds like a locally-installed prank.
I just did a quick search on all the major anti-virus vendor sites and
there is no match for "mac audio" or "mac movie" on any of them. Ditto
nothing on Google. I'm thinking like you that someone is playing a joke.
