Subject: [PATCH] Fix: desktop audio slider now controls system volume (WYSIWYG
 audio)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Push GameAudioVolume to MMDevice.AudioEndpointVolume.MasterVolumeLevelScalar
on every change. The slider now controls what Windows sends to the
headphones, so the creator hears exactly what the stream carries (minus
mic — monitored via meters only, no feedback).
