xavierk	5201383638	fix(audio): apply host_env outermost to the pw-record spawn ... host_env() now wraps the whole child environment, and the stream.capture.sink property is merged inside it, which is the form the host_process convention expects. The two capture tests patch os.environ instead of host_env. Fixes #41	2026-11-07 00:02:41 +05:30
xavierk	71b97fe633	fix(audio): never record from another microphone when one is configured ... A configured device that was virtual, output-only, renamed or unplugged was replaced by the hardware default input, with only a log warning. The capture source now refuses an explicit selection that cannot be used as configured: it raises AudioDeviceUnavailableError, skips reconnection (retrying cannot help), and reports it through the desktop notification path. System Default (unset, or -1) keeps its implicit default. Behaviour change: an unplugged or renamed configured microphone now fails visibly instead of recording from the default input. Pulse source selection is unchanged. Fixes #42	2026-11-06 23:58:15 +05:30
xavierk	378a4f2da3	fix(audio): pin system-audio capture to the sink monitor ... pw-record --target <sink> also linked the default microphone to the stream unless stream.capture.sink was set, so system-audio capture could open an input device. Set the property in PIPEWIRE_PROPS for the spawned pw-record only, keeping any value the user already has. Verified on PipeWire 1.6.10 with a null sink: the stream linked the sink monitor and no Audio/Source node. Fixes #41	2026-11-06 23:52:48 +05:30
