    Bug 22650: Make it clear that Pulse Audio is potentially dangerous to enable.
    
    Per "Jann Horn of Google Project Zero", PulseAudio is a potential vector
    for sandbox escapes. While this is not part of the threat model in current
    releases, it should be documented as such in the UI.
