Create sound indicators for microphone and system audio  #153

Open

Description

Why

To help users with audio setup, we should introduce a visual cue if the selected audio is working by providing audio/sound indicators.

What

A sound wave made of bars that visualize the captured audio. It should be displayed in the "Audio" Section of the MenuBarSettingsView. The wave bars should be in the center of the rows for "Capture Microphone" and "Capture System Audio". In addition, so save some space, I'd like to rename the rows to "System Audio" and "Microphone".

The visualization should also work while recording, when the sound settings are disabled.

Sound Visualization

The sound visualization should look similar to the visualization of the "Voice Memo" app. It has thin bars that are larger or smaller depending on the volume. The bars are vertically centered.
