Microphone mode

Is there any API to check which microphone mode is active for my macOS application? There is API to check microphone mode for AVCaptureDevice. But the status bar allows to select Microphone mode for an application that reads Microphone Audio (not for Microphone itself).

this would be very useful

an application would be to export this metric to external hardware to have more indication of the mic/camera status

something like https://forum.arduino.cc/t/on-air-indicator-for-macoss-mic-and-webcam/654525/2
