A video file was picture-only: the decode pipe passed `-an`, so a starting-soon
or BRB clip with music played silent everywhere. Adds sound to every clip and
collapses the two decoders into one.
- `Services/VideoClipPipe.cs`: the shared pipe behind `MediaVideoSource` (TASK 21)
and `AlertClipDecoder` (TASK 47) — video (`rawvideo bgra`, scaled) + audio
(`f32le -ac 2 -ar 48000`, 50 ms chunks, byte-carry across reads), both paced to
real time, loop restarts both so picture and sound stay together. Alert
behaviour is unchanged.
- `MediaVideoSourceManager` applies the layer's Level/Mute per session and raises
`AudioAvailable`; `MainViewModel` feeds it to the new
`AudioMixer.EnqueueDesktopMediaAudio`, which joins the DESKTOP/GAME ring so the
desktop fader and the mic auto-ducker apply exactly as they do for game audio
and TRAX (creator ruling 2026-11-05: audio joins the group).
- Per-layer `MediaMuted` + existing `MediaVolume` surfaced as Mute/Level in the
properties panel; `MediaMuted` persisted (ALTER TABLE guard + SELECT/INSERT).
- Level/mute are per SESSION because one decoder is shared per file path — the
last layer touched wins; one decoder per layer would play the file twice.
Test: `MediaSourceAudioTests` — the pipe emits 50 ms chunks at 48k stereo, the
manager scales by level and drops when muted, and a media layer's sound moves the
desktop meter. Alert/decode suites unchanged and green.
Docs: task-21 closed on item 10, the "silent soundtrack" facts corrected in
frame-pipeline/output/overlays, HANDOFF rewritten. verify.sh green (529 passed;
the two documented pre-existing failures only).
TASK 21's picker slice: the decoder, manager, pacing and loop mechanism were
already shipped but nothing ever acquired a session, so a media Source rendered
nothing. Adds "Video File" to the (+) menu (video-filtered OpenFileDialog),
one decode session per distinct path with a HasSession guard, release when the
last scene reference goes, and a post-load reconcile. Loop is a manager-level
per-path answer ("any live reference loops") applied before StartAsync and
updated live via SetLooping. Properties panel shows the file with Change… and
Loop. Volume stays unwired: media audio rides the desktop loopback, TRAX-style.
Reference: OBS's media source (file → decode → composite into the scene) is the
established answer for this feature; the lifecycle shape mirrors this repo's
WebView2/ScreenCapture registration rather than inventing a new one.
Test: ytLive.Tests/MediaSourceAcquisitionTests.cs — add starts one decoder and
frames reach the layer, loop flip reaches the decoder, remove stops it.
Docs: task-21 closed, TASKS row + Day-4 row + stale 3·17 row corrected,
frame-pipeline acquisition note, HANDOFF rewritten. verify.sh green.
TASKS.md is now the index (status table, open items, research pointer).
33 files: 32 task files + 1 research facts file. The full take-saga
narrative and all design decisions are preserved verbatim; the catalog
makes the queue readable without opening every task body. Schema and
AGENTS.md updated to reflect the new layout.
