An interesting security feature planned in oz is the blocking of PulseAudio access for programs that have no legitimate need to access the microphone or other audio streams.

The --nosound flag for firejail should do something very similar. @netblue30, how exactly is --nosound implemented? Does it just disable access to Pulse or does it also disable access to the devices themselves?
