Research direction

The report names MicrophoneSource, InternalAudioSource and MixAudioSource, plus the prepareAudio and prepareVideo calls, but no file or test. Start by reproducing a live source switch without restarting the stream, then trace how the audio timestamps are handled after the switch. Done means audio stays in sync with video after switching sources mid-stream, shown by a reproduction or a test. The maintainer has not answered in 182 days, so confirm the behaviour is still present before starting.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When I change the MicrophoneSource to a InternalAudioSource or MixAudioSource, the audio lags behind the video. If you stop the stream and do the prepareAudio & prepareVideo again, it's fine.

Any ideas?
