This adds a just command for enabling virtual audio channels for Game, Voice, Browser and Music.
This is useful for special use cases where you would want 2 separate controls for the audio (for example streaming, game audio control for you and game audio control for viewers/stream)
This can easily be achieved by splitting the audio off to one of these channels using something like qpwgraph, helvum or carla.
Users will still have to manually add the
Audio Output Capturesource in OBS to make use of this.I found no way to replicate this using the obs-pipewire-audio-capture plugin from obs-studio-portable, if this is actually possible with that plugin then this PR can be ignored for that use case.
I also use this to listen to podcasts while streaming without sending the podcast audio to the viewers (this i saw i could replicate using the obs-pipewire-audio-capture plugin) too or to play audio at lower volume to my friends on discord than for myself.
