Subject: [PATCH] Fix browser source audio control for individual stream
 management
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Enable "Control audio via OBS" checkbox on browser sources using reroute_audio: true
- Remove redundant separate audio capture sources (_audio suffixed sources)
- Browser sources now properly route audio through OBS for individual mute/unmute control
- Preserve URL settings in all SetInputSettings calls to prevent URL clearing
- Simplify audio management - no more duplicate audio sources cluttering OBS

This allows users to mute/unmute individual Twitch streams directly in OBS without
having to manually mute each stream in the browser or deal with separate audio sources.
