Screenshare broadcasts system-wide audio, not just that of the application.

Describe the bug

When streaming any application using Vesktop, audio from other applications is being picked up and broadcasted.

Expected behavior

Vesktop streaming only the audio of the application I selected to screenshare.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS/Distro: Windows 10 LTSC 21H2

Additional Context

I tried streaming VLC, Foobar2000, a variety of games and the issue persists.

yes this is intended

i don't think it's possible to stream just one window with electron api

[PolisanTheEasyNick]

Indeed, using electron API we can stream either all sound from Windows system or sound from one tab:

For now, we are setting audio parameter just to loopback:

that api has no option to choose a custom window. WebFrameMain refers to an electron frame, aka a frame of your own app. not other apps

Ohh, I see now. Anyway there's no way to choose another sound source :(

That is, did I understand correctly that this cannot be fixed?
