If you don't mind i change it to wishlist.

I'm not sure if the dev can change the code of Kdenlive in a manner to change the Task Manager settings.

I can verify. Checking with pacmd list-sink-input indicates that Kdenlive has a RUNNING and *not* CORKED (the latter is what we use to determine whether to show the stream).

It's fine for an app to have a stream open but it should be marked as corked (PulseAudio speech for "not actually playing anything right now"). I would consider this a Kdenlive (or whatever library kdenlive uses for live preview, I pressume it's that causing it) bug, not in Task Manager.

Farid noticed that this issue doesn't happen with flatpak. He guessed that it is probably because it passes "--socket=pulseaudio" in build.
