feat: add VOICE_COMMUNICATION audio source option#167
Merged

Add as a new enum value. This uses (priority 7) which is higher than CAMCORDER (5), preventing Dictate from being muted when other apps (e.g. dictaphones, camera) hold a microphone lock. The VOICE_COMMUNICATION source was already mentioned in the class javadoc (line 27) as the default for Bluetooth-SCO; this exposes it as a user-selectable option in the audio source picker. Fixes dual-mic scenario: Dictate voice input + background dictaphone.

Thanks! Merging. VOICE_COMMUNICATION does trade some transcription-tuning for the higher audio priority (it runs the call-style processing), but the priority benefit — not getting muted when another app grabs the mic — is worth exposing as a choice. I'll follow up with the settings picker entry + label so users can actually select it. |

…167) PR #167 added VOICE_COMMUNICATION to DictateAudioSource but nothing surfaced it, so users couldn't choose it. Add the picker entry in the recording settings and its label/summary (translated into the 20 core locales), and document the trade-off on the enum: highest capture priority (Dictate keeps working when another app holds the mic) at the cost of call-tuned processing that can reduce transcription accuracy.

VOICE_COMMUNICATIONвDictateAudioSource— позволяет использоватьMediaRecorder.AudioSource.VOICE_COMMUNICATION(приоритет 7) для захвата аудио.Зачем это нужно
Сейчас Dictate использует
MICилиVOICE_RECOGNITION— оба с низким приоритетом.Когда другое приложение (диктофон, камера) держит микрофон через
CAMCORDER(приоритет 5),Dictate глушится — голосовой ввод перестаёт работать.
VOICE_COMMUNICATIONимеет самый высокий приоритет (7) среди аудиоисточников,поэтому Dictate не будет заглушаться при параллельной записи на диктофон или камеру.

VOICE_COMMUNICATIONуже упоминался в javadoc класса (строка 27) как используемый дляBluetooth-SCO. Этот PR просто делает его доступным для выбора пользователем.
