Bug Description
I installed Gifcurry 4.0.0.0 from Software in Ubuntu 18.04 (Budgie flavour-based derivative) and I noticed that the "Permissions" menu shows "Play and record sound" twice, the first one off by default, the second one on by default (see screenshot). If I turn the first one on, it is back to off when I reopen the "Permissions" menu. If I turn the second one off, it is back to on when I reopen the "Permissions" menu.
I have been told on the Gifcurry repo that this might be an issue with Snaps: https:/
Following the developper's instructions and running the following:
```
sudo snap connect gifcurry:
sudo snap connect gifcurry:
sudo snap connect gifcurry:raw-usb
sudo snap connect gifcurry:pulseaudio
```
... I could get to a point where but sliders were set to the same "on" setting, but they still appear twice.

I think what's happening is that "alsa" and "pulseaudio" both get the same description in gnome software, which is confusing. I don't know why it then doesn't toggle the right one.
At the same time, I'd be highly suspicious of this snap: why does something that creates gifs need access to raw usb, to reading the mount tables, and to record audio?
