If the default is to allow those arbitrary pieces of code to obtain audio input from the microphone, then that is a major issue. I very much doubt it allows that by default.

The problem here is not mainly that it downloads and executes code via NaCl, though it's iffy that it does so with no simple way to disable it.

The problem is if it does so and grants that code access to API's' that should be privileged and something the user ought to be aware of.
