Teufelswerk's Audio Device Switch [ts-audio-device-switch]

This Teamspeak 3 plugin adds a new Option to switch the audio device for a specific user. The idea was born on the roleplay GTA V server StateV. Where a small group of outlaws teamed up with the Teufel company (Ingame) to work together to counter music copyright issues.

[Update: 18.12.2020 First functional prototype released. See Installation Instructions below.

Idea

A Option to switch the audio device for a specific user by right click on the user name. Use case example: In some games users will play copyright protected music. With this feature for example a streamer can split these audio streams into another. Then its possible to hear the music but not record or stream them.

Prototype Installation

The Installation of the first prototype version is still complex, but will be simplified in the final version.

The prototype does not really change the audio device but switches the Teamspeak sound of the selected user to the center box. This means that the sound is no longer sent to the stream. By upscaling and switching from surround to mono it is then possible that the streamer himself can still enjoy the sound.
