No recording device detected, no tray icon (desktop app on Linux Mint Cinnamon)

[axellieb]

Version 5.1.2 of the desktop app on Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.3 (installed from the .deb file).

1. In /Settings/Recording, the drop-down menu shows none of the available microphones. When I try to record something regardless, I get an error message from the app saying "The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission." Yes, I have confirmed availability of these devices in Pulse Audio Control and with arecord. And yes, I have updated the webkit dependencies. Starting the app as super user also doesn't help.

2. When trying to record, the app also shows these error messages: "Could not set tray icon to idle icon" and "No such file or directory (os error 2)". And indeed, the app's icon does not appear in the system tray.

3. Also, as noted by others, the app is now called "app", not "whispering".
