What is the mumbling that takes place periodically in the background throughout the album?

They just got different people to answer questions and talk about different things and then put it on a track and mixed it in, just to make it more interesting.
Recording geniuses. So much of what is done today, is there because they invented the techniques.

AXS has a documentary on that album that tells you pretty much everything, even has Alan Parsons (producer) with some inside info when the album was being recorded and mixed.

It’s called perfection.

Which techniques are those? Which ones weren't used first by the Beatles, Brian Wilson, or Frank Zappa?

Little things, like the cash register sounds, sifting coins, etc.. used in a tape loop for part of the percussion, the backgrounds voices talking throughout the album. All of this stuff may have been dabbled with a bit before, but Pink Floyd took it to the highest level and perfected it.
I can't think of a more well done album, that came before, with such attention to detail, and to me, the only ones who ever out did it, were Pink Floyd themselves.
As a matter of fact, I think it was recorded at Abbey Roads Studio, but they bought and brought in a lot of new equipment, just to be able to accomplish what they wanted to do.

Well.. I'm not putting APP down in any way, but I never was a big fan, it just never caught my attention the way Pink Floyd did.
You have to keep in mind, I was 11 or 12 years old when MONEY was getting play on AM radio, it was just so bad arse to me, that I was a permanent Pink Floyd Fan.
I was also a big Beatles Fan and a bit of a Beach Boys Fan, but it is a completely different kind of music to me.
Pink Floyd should be able to claim a genre all to themselves. Only a handful of songs by other artists/bands could even make the cut to be in with them.
You may not agree, but that's how it seems to me.
At this point in my life, I really don't care much for listening to new things, unless it is just something that catches my ear, and that still happens sometimes, and that will lead me to other things. Mostly though, I prefer to work on my own playing when I have spare time. I'm getting old, but I still want to be a great picker someday.

So I discovered Floyd in album form at age 12. Wish you were here then Dark Side of the Moon, Animals and then by 13 The Wall came out. Maybe a year later I went back to Meddle. I tapped into that Roger Waters anger/cynicism like I was a 25 year old grad student- I just got those lyrics, they spoke to me more than any other. And Gilmour is the GOAT of course and a personal hero and Richard Wright is the great unsung genius.
Lately I’ve become obsessed with all the YouTube reaction videos and it’s obvious most of these people watching lack the vocabulary and the ear to really understand what they are hearing. It moves them emotionally but they don’t know why because they have been listening to shite their whole lives and they don’t know how to process that level of mastery and they have no way to put it in context.

Anytime I'm on a flight, especially when it's dark outside, I listen to DSotM I try to time the initial Am of "Breathe" with the moment the wheels leave the ground. It's pretty awesome if you nail it. And you have to have a window seat.

Using prerecorded sounds and tape effects on an album wasn't a Pink Floyd innovation, even less so in 1973. "Highest level" and "perfected it" are subjective value judgments.

That's kind of a cool idea, and I could visualize it as soon as I read your statement. Reminds me of the scene in Ben Stiller's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" when his character uses Bowie's Space Oddity to get him on the helicopter as it takes off. Scene
