While unmuted, the microphone button (call view and the bottom call bar)
shows three small green bars in the icon's corner driven by the fork's
io.lotus.mic_level (element-call v0.25.0-lotus.16), so you can see the mic is
actually picking you up. Nothing is drawn while muted or silent; the button's
label is unchanged (the bars are decorative).
Your own name no longer appears in the "… is speaking" line: that is now for
everyone else, and your voice is on the meter. Avatar speaking rings still
include you, and the "You're muted" talking-while-muted notice is unchanged.
Verified in a local call with a fake-tone mic: data-mic-level cycles 3/2/1
with the tone on both buttons, disappears on mute and returns on unmute; the
status line reads "bob is speaking..." only.
