Fix: Microphone indicator no longer shows while idle
On some desktops (GNOME, Ubuntu, and others), hyprwhspr appeared to be always listening — the system microphone indicator would appear as soon as the service started, even when not recording.
This was caused by a recently implemented keepalive audio stream that held the microphone open between recordings to prevent cold-start timeouts on certain ALSA hardware. It worked, but had the unintended side effect of looking like hyprwhspr was constantly recording. It's not!
The keepalive stream is now opt-in and disabled by default. If you previously relied on it to avoid paTimedOut errors on your first recording after the mic has been idle, you can re-enable it:
{
"keepalive_stream": true
}See the configuration docs for more info.
