It was listed as a dependency (if I remember correctly). When I start
mumble, it appears under 'Applications' and 'All Streams' but not
'Virtual Streams'. I avoided getting into pulseaudio for a long time, so
I can only guess (and read up on the topic).
A clear sign that it does use pulseaudio would be references in the
source code, messages in standard output / log with reference to
pulseaudio, and what else?

The problem is that mumble sometimes appears in Applications of
pavucontrol and sometimes it doesn't.
