They mean the K in KVM could trivially have a keylogger. For the computers attached to that KVM. Audio is for logging for computers not attached to the device in question. Which could be up to and including a whole server room save a couple machines.
What would you be able to get from the noise of loads of servers in a room where no-one is using a keyboard?
The conversations of server goblins ofc. Gotten listen in on the little gnomes inside the racks.
I think I’m thinking of old school kvms you attach a laptop to instead of VNCing into.
