I normally upload mumble when there's a release snapshot available; I don't
upload development versions from Git unless upstream specifically directs doing
that.  (Which only happened once because there was no 1.3.0 snapshot available
for release at the time.)  I don't know why upstream is taking so long to make
another release snapshot.  :-/

I'm glad this specific section was added because I had tested Mumble in a Sid VM
and the audio worked fine, but the version of pulseaudio in that VM ended up
being held back to 12.2-4+deb10u1 and can't be upgraded due to package
conflicts.  I would like to test this with a more "pure" Sid VM to see what I 
find.
